2005 check up

Here's what I wrote on Dec. 31st 2004, outlining my goals for 2005. Let's see how I did:

In 2005 I will:
-Pass my comps [check]
-Defend my dissertation proposal [check]
-Learn to write a decent record review [uhhh, sort of]
-Learn three chords on the guitar [nope]
-Get a facial [check]
-Go to the Capitol Hill Block Party (Sea.) [nope]
-Help Marshall around the house more [uhhh, sort of]
-Make home-made gifts even if they're crappy [check. decoupage coasters for anna 'n dave, embroidered apron for marshall]
-Go hiking/camping in Texas [nope]
-Appreciate my new bed every day [does staying in bed til 11am count?]
-Make labels for all my burned CDs [nope]
-Drink more water [nope]
-Call my mom more [check]

I think I get about a C+ unless I give more weight to the first two.

i propose assisting in completion of two resoltions (if you want to play catch up):
i can teach you three chords in less than an hour (heck, it would prob take less than 15 to teach you everything you need to know about punk rock)
and also!
we should go camping. we have two tents. and! that is one of my intents for this year.

i won't go camping BUT i propose that even having your list from last year shows some kind of level of organization most folks don't even have. and facing up to comparing your list to what you actually did? impressive.

we have tents too! i actually used to go camping in my former, pre-Austin life. my stuff's for like 40 degree weather though, heh heh. we could make fun camping food.

re: guitar chords, my problem is memorizing them. i learn them and then promptly forget them. but i have one of silver zephyr's guitars (staring at me from underneath the futon couch) precisely for what you are talking about: a lesson from sbkt!

oh and thanks to blog archiving i was able to easily access this list, thus giving the illusion of organization.
