Whew! That seems like a lot of things to do, but I love that you have goals and objectives. So many of my students don't have anything that they want to accomplish at all, which is so weird to me. I haven't really thought through what I'm doing other than reading all the books. Again. I'll have to think about it on my walk in to work tomorrow. Have a happy new year, and good luck on getting things done!
To be honest, I didn't know what goals and objectives were when I was your students' age. My impression is that a lot of adults don't know.
