Preparing for the new year

This has been a good week that was preceded by a good Christmas. Now, tomorrow is New Year's Eve and I guess I need to begin thinking about what I want to accomplish over the next year. First and foremost, I want to graduate, which barring some catastrophe, should happen next December. That's two semesters and two summer sessions, 27 credit hours, and who knows how many papers and projects away. Not that I'm counting down. I'm enjoying school, but graduation is my major goal for the coming year.

Lesser goals, relatively speaking, include improving my skills with programming languages, get involved in or start a development project, submit and present a paper at a conference, get my blog listed on planet code4lib, and do a better job of posting to my blog once school restarts in January. They may not all happen, but they are doable.

Now, I know all of those goals are pretty school/career oriented, but not much else fits in until I graduate. It's okay; I've learnt to deal with it. Of course that would be a good resolution: accomplish something not related to school/career goals.

I'm going to think about that more. I have another 23 hours.
