march goals wrap-up

So, how did I do with my March goals?

1. Develop thesis idea and rough outline. I need to work on my thesis this month, and at least have an idea for where I want to go. Specifically, I need a topic by March 12th (per my schedule). This was a no-go. I have no topic and definitely no outline. I’ve sent out a few emails to assess research needs in the hopes of finding a thesis topic that way.

2. Develop proposal for project at work (ideally, two projects). I have two ideas for new projects. Both need proposals written. One I will do this weekend, and the other might have to wait until I return from my trip. I got one of them done, and I think I will hold off on the second one for a couple of months. But in the meantime, I was given a few other ideas to work on.

3. Eat less crap. I’m not exactly sure how to measure this one - it’s harder in the negative than the positive. But perhaps something along the lines of measuring how many days I go without eating something completely non-nutritious (basically, overly processed foods like packaged sweets and snack items). I actually did quite well with this one! There were a few days when I had soda, and there was some chocolate on my vacation (I’m a sucker for the international version of KitKat). Otherwise, I’m calling this a success!

4. Take a vacation! This is one of my yearly goals, that will be completed this month. I am going to SE Asia for just over a week. Done! And it was a great time. I really needed it.
