Since so many of my recent posts seem to be about how much I'm not into my job right now, I thought I should take a moment to spread a little more positive energy. The twelve-steppers call their version of this a moral inventory, but in this case it's maybe more of a morale inventory.
Since the beginning of 2010, I:
- shaved about two and a half minutes off my 5k time.
- got close to seventy-five students through the semester (although some made the journey with more grace than others).
- lost a little over twenty pounds (five or ten more and I'll post before and after pics).
- got a lot better at swimming.
- Finished running a short story contest that netted the undergrad winner $500
- spent about forty hours tutoring at the local literacy co-op.
- presented at a national conference and won a $1200 grant from the NEH.
Individually there's nothing super awesome here, but all together I suppose that means things aren't going too badly.
Hurrah! I'm a little jealous of all your accomplishments. You should be pleased as punch.
