to-do list

I noticed that my to-do list is not looking so good. School and life really caught up with me. I barely had time to do anything, including reading for school (which I did almost none of...), let alone anything on my list. I mean, I did get some stuff done. But that was inadvertently. And there's a lot of big stuff left to accomplish. And a lot of things I started but didn't keep up with. I mean, I'm not beating myself up. Grad school is a big task in itself, not to mention we moved twice in the last year and don't really have a home right now and we both commute quite a ways to school and work.

But, I'm obviously going to have to extend it, maybe an extra year? I don't anticipate getting much done in the next school year, at least, considering I'll be working on my thesis and be flying around the country for conferences. hmm.

Honestly, I think as long as I keep a list of things I want to do, I can take as long as I want to complete them. The list just enables me to store them somewhere and mark them off when they're accomplished. There are more things I want to add: start a vegetable garden. try my hand at woodworking like my grandpa does. learn to design a webpage. wake up at 8am or before every day for a month (I love sleeping, which is a problem because I hate wasting time). I think a good solution is to continue working at it, but while I'm in school, I'm not going to hold myself to any timelines.
