No?
Well, let’s pretend they did.

Back in February, I listed a few “get shit done” items in addition to my regular New Year’s resolutions that I wanted to accomplish this year. So let’s see how they went.

THING #1: Apply for tenure
Done! This was a lot of work and a lot of stress, but the application is in and it is now out of my hands.

THING #2: Take at least two French classes through the Continuing Education program
Didn’t get this one, unfortunately. I took one class in the Winter semester, but I had to cancel my enrollment in the second class in the Fall due to how ridiculously busy I was. I’m signed up for that class in the Winter, though.

THING #3: Run a marathon
DONE! I didn’t do it in person, but I did it. I did it 15 times this year, actually. As well as an ultra marathon.

THING #4: Beat last year’s walking/running distance
Yup! A blog on this is coming soon.

THING #5: Go to a Coldplay concert
UGH, stupid freaking Covid. I was just too nervous about it (on the plane and at the concert itself) to take the risk. I couldn’t justify it, which blows heavy metal chunks, but it is what it is.

THING #6: Do at least one full story revision
Dudes, I’m ALMOST THERE. I’ve got two more chapters to go.

THING #7: Apply for Canadian citizenship
Not only did I apply, but I GOT citizenship!

So it’s not a 100% success rate, but I’d say it’s pretty good.
