Finally starting the Harry Potter series!

I finally finished “I am America (and So Can You)” - and have moved on to the next book on my list: “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.”

Get excited, ye non believers who never thought I would get around to starting the series!

New Year’s Resolutions

You’ll notice that I failed miserably on last year’s New Year’s Resolutions. Let’s see how we do this time around.

I wasn’t planing to be so resolute this year, but came up with these for a post on RD2’s blog. Feel free to hold me accountable for any and all goals throughout the year. Use bribery if necessary:

Work

• Get better at my job
• Work smarter, not harder
• Learn more
• Get better in front of clients
• Do better work, faster
• Go to a major conference.

Personal

• Read more. Next up on the list:

• “I am America (and so can you)” - Stephen Colbert
• “Brainiac” - Ken Jennings
• “Tim Gunn: A Guide to Quality, Taste and Style” - Tim Gunn
• Harry Potter 1 - 7 (The goal is to have them completed by Summer 2009, when my sister graduates from high school and Harry Potter World opens)

Blog more

Enjoy doing healthy things

Get better at managing my time

• Be late less often
• Stop underestimating travel time, transition time, and traffic

Make good financial decisions

Have more adventures. Especially, but not limited to:

• Concerts
• Music Festivals
• Road Trips
• Theme Parties

Move out (happening one week from tomorrow!)

1. Read more. For fun.
2. Blog more. For fun*.
3. Do healthy things. For fun.

*I am pretty good with the blogging for work and blogging for school.

How am I going to stay organized this year? I highly recommend BackPack… I love myself a good To Do list.

June is bustin’ out all over.

If you want to read what I hope is witty commentary on my life, Czech out the Xanga.

 For the time being, I’ll be doing something different with this site. [And not obsessively counting comments to validate my self worth.]

… I just haven’t decided what yet.

Summer Goals update: I am a huge slacker.

• I have [almost] finished ONE of the FOUR Latin books
• I haven’t as much as BOUGHT the book I need to read to get credit for my internship [though I tried on ebay and had my money returned when it was actually out of stock]
• I am through C [as in, “of Z”] in my grad school book
• While I have decided which GRE book I’ll be studying from, I have not made any progress to get one of my own
