I'm boring

So I had set up some goals for the month of February . Let's see how far I got.

Finish reading Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon. I'm currently on page 135 of 1070. I'm probably about half way through now. I actually lost my book for a while so I couldn't read it and I also read another book in between. Haven't really been in a reading mood lately to tell you the truth.

Finish watching Season 4 of Weeds. Done and Done. I finished this, caught up on The Tudors and have started watching Big Love. Yeah I'm weird and clearly have a lot of time on my hands.

Research and determine 3 grad schools to apply for. This one amuses me since I'm almost ready to give up on grad school. Taking the monetary hit, plus the whole fear of not finding a job when I'm done. But we'll see what happens. It depends how the next couple of weeks go I guess.

Set a tentative date for the GRE. This one goes right along with the last one.

Watch some college hoops. Done. I watched the Duke-UNC game a couple of weeks ago, the Texas-Oklahoma game and one other Duke game this past weekend. Other than that I've spent a lot of time watching curling.

Finish sewing the dress I started last year. I've thought about this a couple of times but I never did pull it out to finish it.

Buy and elliptical machine or a bike. I'm now waiting until I move to do this one. No point in buying something just to move it 2 weeks later.

So that's how I did for February. I'm planning to go back to the regular goal of the week, for March. So we'll see how that goes.

Goal of the Week

That's it I'm sick of giving myself unrealistic goals or at least ones that I know I'm only going to have to force myself to do. Like last week's goal . Seriously I kind of knew that I wasn't going to work on it. I was busy doing other things like running 2-a-day blog posts. Anyway so I'm only one seam closer to finishing which I guess leaves 2 seams and 3 hems to do.

This weeks goal is one that I'm probably going to finish tonight. I want to finish reading the third book in the Stephanie Myers Twilight series. Thanks to KEG* for suggesting these books to me. They're pretty good and not terribly heavy reading.

*This is the blog moniker I'm giving her because she refuses to come up with anything better for me to work with and I suspect I will need to mention her often

Goal of the Week

So I haven't done a goal of the week in quite some time. This is mostly because I was in give up and do nothing phase. I have this problem with goals. When I set a goal I have every intention of achieving that goal. When I do it's not so much an accomplishment as it is an expectation, when I don't achieve my goal I tend to berate myself. So in some way doing a goal of the week is actually more likely to be a knock against my self confidence rather than a boost to it. That said let's move on to my new goal.

Oh and normally I do this on a Friday night but I'm doing it today because I have the day off tomorrow so it's the start of my weekend now. Okay NOW we can move on to my goal of the week. This week I intend to finish sewing the dress I started way back in February. I've only got the sleeves and the bottom hem to do and then it's done. The secondary goal is to buy a digital camera so that I can post a picture of the finished product.

As for the previous goal of the week I do intend to get my glasses fixed this week. Finally.
