Continuing to do rather ridiculously well in school. Lowest mark I have so far is a 70% (technically only a passing grade), but that was on a quiz that is worth 2% of my mark, in a class where I got 91% on my first midterm. So. Not too worried, except for that oh god the muscles of the forearm can I just run off a cliff now? *ahem*
I've also rather significantly altered my 101 in 1001 Days goals. However, I haven't had the time to update them on LJ, which makes tracking progress (admittedly quite crummy thus far - I'm still at 57 goals with less than a year to go), but I've modified it significantly.
Basically, I decided I wanted to be a Renaissance Man. :P So new entries include specific readings, like about Medieval art or Middle Eastern music. Most major religious texts are still on the list. In the end I have split the OT and the NT into separate goals, not that I've moved very far on it (Doing the psalms as a separate category of the OT, I'm at Psalm 110 and Isaiah 10). I also have a few musical items - write a song, learn to play ONE song on guitar, learn to play one song perfectly on piano (harder now that the piano is back with Patrick's family, though I should get on getting batteries for my keyboard). Several writing projects, including "start a webcomic" (I really want to write a for-serious Exalted comic, guys, but I'd want it to be full color and in a style that I have no hope of ever achieving myself. Takers?) Perform vocally somewhere (anywhere). Take ballroom dance lessons.
A few sillier things to improve my skill at games, like beating the computer in Hard mode at chess; take a stunt driving course (definitely not happening before the cutoff date), go horseback riding at least once more. Several fitness goals (pushups, situps, that sort of thing).
Will I start or finish ANY of the remaining 44 before the end of February 2011? Oh, possibly - the Susie Bright challenge goal is still at 8/10, I'm drastically improving my 50 Book Challenge results and would probably be doing even BETTER if only I read some of those specific texts I mentioned ;) (Although admittedly my heavy diet of Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie is probably improving my speed immensely...)
