Summer Goals for 2014

[dozmuffinxc]

As I won't be traveling abroad this summer after all (*whingewhinge*) and the only real work I'll have is tutoring - assuming they keep me on - I figure I ought to use the next two and a half months to get some real stuff done! Thus, I will do what I do best: make a list. Here's to hoping some of these things actually happen! Encouragement and cookies are welcome.

Sewing Goals:

• Finish DWSAL quilt
• Make t-shirt quilt from Elon shirts
• Wall hanging for Honey Badger and husband
• (At least start on) RenFaire/Merida gown for next year   <-- lowest priority

Reading Goals:

• Finish Canterbury Tales (with my accompanying annotations)
• Read the entirety of the ACD "Sherlock Holmes" canon
• Reread the LOTR trilogy   <-- if time and continuing inclination

Writing Goals:

• (Start and) finish short story for submission to Athena's Daughters II anthology
• Outline novel-to-be

Teaching Goals:

• Open up shop at teacherspayteachers.com for some extra money   <-- as soon as year is out
• Map out next year's curriculum
• Rearrange and CLEAN classroom

Plus, I'll be heading down to New Orleans for a few weeks in July and up to Rhode Island to visit my cousin and her girlfriend at some point, as well. So despite my disappointed plans for London, I think it shall be a very busy and productive season.
