My goals for this year...
On Jan. 1, I posted a list of eleven goals for this year. Since it's the halfway point, I'm adding this progress report that I hope helps light a fire under me. I've done fine on some points and really poorly on others.
1. Read 25 books.
I've already passed that number. But this was a really easy goal.
2. Listen to one Big Finish audio each week (or a total of four per month). Subgoal: Listen to Zagreus.
Not even close so far. I think I've listened to eight audios total? And Zagreus is not one of them. Yet.
3. Watch all Doctor Who serials in order starting with the Second Doctor and finishing with the Eighth Doctor.
I haven't finished the Second Doctor's stuff yet! That is pathetic.
4. Write at least one complete story/article/poem/whatever every month (writing for fun, not for pay).
Another failure. I haven't completed a single thing this year.
5. Teach my cat Jack at least two new tricks that he can perform consistently. Subgoal: Put Jack on a diet, and stick to it.
Jack sits on command, but I taught him that one a long time ago. His lone new trick is "paw," where he raises his paw when ordered. As for the diet, the least said, the better.
6. Gain about ten pounds.
The cat hasn't lost any weight, and I haven't gained any.
7. Knit three Doctor Who-themed scarves.
I completed a Sixth Doctor scarf a few months ago and am most of the way through a Seventh Doctor one. So I'm ahead of schedule on this goal.
8. See six movies in a theater.
I've seen just one (The Croods).
9. Attend two conventions.
I haven't made it to any conventions yet, but at least I'm already booked for Chicago TARDIS in November.
10. Pay off at least 20% of the remaining balance on my college loans.
If I continue to make my payments, I'll do this by the end of the year.
11. Add a new post to my LJ four times a month or more.
Another major fail. I haven't come close.
Decidedly mixed results here, overall.
