Why can't I do it all?

Goal one:
Achieve a 38min. chiptime for the 5K on November 3rd
I just looked back at my Firefly Run time that I completed this past March. My chiptime was 45:26 - that means I just need to run faster than 14min/mile and I should be good to beat this time!

According to the C25K program, I just need to complete the following to finish a 5K:
1) 5 min walk, jog 22 minutes 09/17
2) 5 min walk, jog 25 minutes 09/18 or 09/20
3) 5 min walk, jog 25 minutes 09/22 or 09/23
4) 5 min walk, jog 25 minutes
5) 5 min walk, jog 28 minutes
6) 5 min walk, jog 28 minutes
7) 5 min walk, jog 28 minutes
8) 5 min walk, jog 30 minutes
9) 5 min walk, jog 30 minutes
10) 5 min walk, jog 30 minutes

Goal two:
Earn an A in both of my graduate school courses
I think I mentioned before that it took some getting used to, but I'm starting to get a hang of the readings and class participation. We're going to have an event on Friday and Saturday which I'm interested to go to meet some of my peers! Putting a face to the name would be nice.

Goal three:
Save money
I'm not going to put an exact price point on this since money is always awkward to talk about or post. I'm already starting to get all my expenses sorted out and stashing money in my savings accounts.
