Graduate in fall 2009!

What I will need to do then:

  • The last course: Global Health
  • Writing competency project
  • Empirical competency project
  • Dissertation

Travel plans
Got a list of places: Yellowstone, Mesa Verde National Park, Atlanta (GSA), and Toronto (APA)

Fun things
Woodwork course

Time for yearly evaluation again.

From 2008:
1. Driving is OK. Got to keep up with it.

So far so good.
2. Want to try yoga. Will look at the rec center schedule and see if I can join some classes.

Well, tried once and my back hurt for a week. Don't think I'll try in the soon future.

3. Well, I'll have four courses next spring. If I can get them all passed, that will be great. But I'll still aim for As.

Yap. Did four courses and got four As. Plus a scholarship and a GSA award. :)

4. Got to get two manuscripts out!

None. Got one badly rejected.

5. Will teach a class in fall, 2008.

Almost done! Keep up with the paper grading!!!

6. Will keep up with exercises. Hopefully yoga will help too.

Skipped the exercises since September. My left ankle hurt too bad. Will need to see the PT when I'm back from Scotland.

7. Make soup.

As usual.

8. Let's see what comes next. No nightmare. Good sleep.

No nightmare for a long long time!

9. Figure out what a family means to me.

Well, not sure yet.

10. Work hard!

Sure!

11. Travel: Scotland and Maryland.

Went to Maryland/DC. Went to my dream place, the Library of Congress!!! Will be in Scotland in less than two weeks! Went to South Dakota, Rhode Island, and Boston in the summer. :D

12. Dissertation proposal by the end of summer 2008.

Oh well, should be done by next February.

Will think about what I should aim at for 2009 in Scotland. :)
