June Goals


1. Finish thesis.
This beast has been hanging over me for far too long. I'm feeling it dragging on my soul! I need to get'r done.

2. Schedule thesis defence.
Which will come with having written the beast.

3. Read a book every week.
I've been reading a lot lately, and I'd like to keep it up.

4. Make sure at least one of them is not fluff.
Some of the books I've been reading (Aftershock and Afterburn, I'm looking at you!) have been less than intellectual, to say the least. Not that I have a huge problem with that, but I like to find balance.

5. Find a new place to live and move in.
I have until July 1.

6. Go to the beach.
Summer is coming!

7. Get a mani or pedi with the Sparks girls
The parents treated us to a manicure for an end of year treat. WOO.

8. Simplify as I get ready to move.
I will be moving twice this summer. Once in my neighbourhood, and then 8 weeks later back to Ontario. I'd rather simplify the moving process. This, unfortunately, means I will be living more or less out of a suitcase after I move, but with some careful planning it hopefully won't be too bad.
