Now that the school year is over, I have gotten monumentally lazy, as evinced from my lack of postings.
But now seems like as good a time as any to list my three overall goals for this summer:
1. Learn how to drive manual transmission
2. Read at least three books in the "Song of Fire & Ice" series. I'm reading "A Game of Thrones" right now.
3. Plan out first quarter entirely and have an outline for second quarter ready to go.
This third goal, obviously, is the most time-consuming and painstaking. I was taught in grad school that you should begin with the assessment and work backwards. I have tried to do this in my planning last year, but it's mind-boggingly difficult. I've always started at the beginning, and I always will. Of course, I do have an end goal in mind, because otherwise what's the point?
However, I have learned from last year, and this year I'm lucky because I have more time (an entire summer, in fact) to plan, and it will be much more specific (and much less sporadic) than my beginning of the year plans from last year. Here we go...
