IWSG #3 -- September

I use this time to put my goals in place and review my goals from last month.  I feel like September has been going on forever already.  J
 

Round up of my goals for August!

 

Goals for August:

• Finish Chem II -- any tips or tricks or motivation is appreciated.  -- I still can't get the course mentor to approve the final for me.  Bleh.  Weekly meetings still under works.  Cross your fingers for me for approval. 
• Actually start the Missouri National Parks Challenge.  -- Fail
• Start cleaning out the extra bedroom and see what treasures I can find. -- I started on the extra bedroom, but I completely cleaned out the shed!  That was something that was almost four years in the making!
• Solar Eclipse goal will be accomplished.  -- this was the most amazing thing!  I blogged about it.  It made my heart so happy after what a day it was.
• Participate in blog link ups.  -- did this. 
• Start rebuilding my teaching portfolio.  -- Working on this!
• Participate in the August Baking Challenge.  -- Fail
• I want my August to be a month to get things done.   -- I did get things done other than what was on my list.  I was made Head of Recruitment for my roller derby league and had to do a lot of things in a short amount of time.  But it's going well.  Getting people in to play the derbies.  Check out the recruitment blog I'm running.  http://fcrdrecruitment.blogspot.com/ 

September Goals:

• Keep running the recruitment blog and have people stop by to check it out.
• Work on getting more people into training.
• Up my own training for Derby.  I have slacked tremendously this summer and I feel it.  Need to make a plan and stick with it.
• Keep participating in blog link ups.
• FINISH FREAKING CHEMSITRY
• Finish Science, Technology and Society Class
• Study, study, study for the Biology Praxis.  (November or December test date)
• Make more contacts for my Northland Encampment programs.  Even though I am not fond of the theme everyone but me voted for last night.  I wanted an Amazing Race – World type theme.  Everyone else wanted “There is no place like camp” So corny and I can’t do anything with programs around it.   The reasoning was that the girls wouldn’t know what the Amazing Race is.  Really?
• Apple Picking. 
• Visit the Sunflower Farm.
• It's Birthday month for two of the children, so we will have fun with that.

September’s optional question - Have you ever surprised yourself with your writing? For example, by trying a new genre you didn't think you'd be comfortable in?

 I have not surprised myself with my writing.  I am boring.  I like to stick with the same old things.  Travel, Girl Scouts, Education, Sports, Books and children’s things. 

I’m not terribly creative and I don’t know how I would fair in the world of fiction.  I love reading fiction, and I know I will never be able to write like others.
