Not making a lot of progress here.

01. Finish coursework, and get a job.
Still struggling along.

02. Read 6 books off of the fun shelf, and 3 off of the religious shelf.
Read 3 fun books (Alcestis; Peter Pan; The Graveyard Book) and 2 religious books (Red Land, Black Land; Seth: God of Confusion).

03. Write 5,000 words. Participate in NaNoWriMo! (I don't have to win, but I do have to make an actual effort to write on at least 3/4ths of the days, which is 23 of 30.)
Modifying this goal somewhat.

04. Complete 3 craft projects that are not religious pieces.
1 of 3- the scarf is done! Next up is the secret project. :

05. Complete 3 craft projects that are religious pieces.

06. Acquire supplies for cill exchange, make it, and mail it on time!
Fail. My first idea did not work out properly, and I did not give myself enough time to come up with a second idea, get the materials and make it and ship it on time. And since I just screwed up my arm/shoulder yesterday, finishing it is going to be even more difficult. Sigh.

07. List something on Etsy.

08. Exercise at least 15 minutes at least 3 times a week for 6 straight weeks.

09. Read through 'Aventures d’Alice au pays des merveilles.'

10. Attempt to make macarons at least 3 times.

11. Test drive the car I want; if I don't like it, start looking again.

[Gelfling]

1. Book a venue where we can get married and then feed our guests. Reception venue booked, ceremony venue still up in the air.  Half-done!
2. Book an officiant.
3. Find a dress.  Returned the dress.  Heavy and structured is so not me.  A friend has agreed to go dress shopping with me at some point.  Considering a long and flowy chiffon dress that is violet, because I'm not convinced that white is me, either.
4. Finish the cardigan for friends' daughter, preferably by her birthday.
5. Develop a meditative practice.   WIP.
6. Read a book that is not school-related.  Working my way through Trance-Portation, but not sure if I'm going fast enough to finish before the season ends.  May need to hit up the library for something fun and easy.
7. Get a job.
8. Buy a loft bed. Done!
9. Get straight A's this term-- grades should be published by 12/21.
10.  Fill out application to Phi Theta Kappa and turn it in by 11/11. Squee!

2. Reach my Goodreads 2011 Reading Challenge goal (7560 books read this year). -- 54 books read this year. Changed because I realized it's November and there's probably not going to be fifteen more books in my future. Unless they are very short. Or I finally finish all the ones I have hanging around

On The Road (Car)
1. Pass emissions test by October 20. -- Done!
2. Register car and get WA plates by November 30.
3. Get an oil change by October 15. -- Done!
4. CHANGED/ADDED: Get WA driver's license by November 20 -- I believe I actually have to do this before I get my car registered here. So, I have to do both this month. Which I hadn't really budgeted for. Le sigh.
