Things to do this year, 2007
JD tagged me. Ready? Go.
- Graduate.
- Key to success, here. The only people who could keep me from graduating are Dr. Shaffer and Dr. Hickman, who are teaching Capstone and Calculus, respectively. Passing capstone is a matter of simply doing my project, and passing calculus is a matter of getting enough people to help me even though I’m mildly terrified of it.
- Go to grad school.
- I want to get my M.S. in Business Education ASAP. Robert Morris, Bloomsburg, Gwynedd-Mercy, and Mercyhurst (just a certification there, though) are my options for that. Otherwise, Pitt has a M.Ed. English/Communications to which I’m also applying, figuring that I can get a job as an English or journalism teacher and earn my business, computer, and information technology teaching certification for my required continuing education hours.
- Keep writing
- Evann Garrison, the woman behind my writing minor (had her for four of the six required classes!), once said, “Keep writing.” I intend to do just that. My new blog will help with that, as I’m going to keep most of my punditry there and my cutesy stuff on my Livejournal.
- I want to get into writing about politics and technology a little more. Net Neutrality is a perfect example of the topics about which I want to write. I will continue to avoid religion, thank you.
- I’m enjoying doing reviews for ThinkComputers, any may soon start doing them for ThinkGaming, too.
- Keep coding
- I finished a site in about 24 hours this week (thank you, Smarty). I need to make manifest more of my site ideas so that I can perhaps start pulling in a little bit of money from them.
- Also, I want to get my idea for a social bookmarking site off the ground. I doubt that it’ll start prior to summer, perhaps launching this time next year.
- I want to improve my Python and Smalltalk knowledge.
- Learn more Esperanto and German
- My Esperanto is slowing getting better. It’s difficult to really work on it because there’s no one else around here that speaks it. I’ll continue to use Kurso de Esperanto and lernu.net to expand my vocabulary.
- I kinda wanted to take German in college, but I didn’t have enough time during the few semesters it was offered. My mother bought me a “learn German” program a few Christmases ago, but I have yet to even open it. Perhaps I’ll open it this summer.
