I think your goal of 2000HP by the year's end is commendable! I haven't set a goal, but I'm always interested in trying to collect as much Hive/HP as possible, but it's also pretty difficult for me to be a very active part of the community because of my schedule. I work a full-time job and I attend college online towards a bachelor's in business administration, so I totally understand the idea of a time-crunch because of education.
I wish you the best with it all and know I'll be working hard alongside you!
