Monthly Summary

Summary...I guess that's the right word. I keep wanting to use synopsis too, which I'm not so sure if it's as fitting.

  • Grow closer to Christ - Again, it's hard to say as I'm going through my growth whether I'm actually growing or not, but youth group started up again this month, and it's been a wonderful experience. We've had more people than I ever remember before there, and things have changed a lot (for the better I believe).
  • Win NaNoWriMo 2009 - I still have my inkling, though it's in no way set in stone yet. Waiting for November to come and scream at me a bit more.
  • Edit my 2007 NaNo - I think it's coming along... NaNoEdMo starts in March, so I should have at least 50 hours with that. Surely that's enough to finish writing in those scenes and start line-editing?
  • Edit my 2008 NaNo - Hoping to start on this one by about June. I'll start as soon as I finish my '07 NaNo for sure.
  • Learn Italian to a conversational level - Going to do lesson 10/15 next week... Maybe I can finish sometime before the end of April? It's hard to say sometimes. And of course that's no guarantee that I'll be able to carry out a conversation with anyone.
  • Learn at least one fancy musical piece for flute - Um...not picked out yet? Still?
  • Get up early (6 or earlier) at least 60% of the time - I dunno about this one... I might have already missed too many days, and I've totally failed to keep track as well. I might just mark this one missed.
  • Learn to drive (driver's ed, permit, restricted, license) - No change in this one, unfortunately.
  • Get to the point on my flute that I'm capable of playing in church - And I need to practice my flute some. I've barely played it this month. Although when I did pick it up a bit ago I somehow magically had vibrato, which I never had managed before. Maybe the ocarina I got is helping me out (I have been playing that thing quite a bit).

So, my plans for March are mostly EdMo, maybe get another driving lesson, keep attending youth group and having daily quiet time, actually practice my flute, keep going on my Italian. Maybe things can settle into a bit of a routine. A good routine.
