This page has quite a bit of overlap with my Org file. That's more for school assignments, appointments, errands, etc. but some sort of integration would be nice. Also, several of "projects" are more like habits I wish to cultivate than discrete actions, and Org-Mode has a "habits" module that would be useful for tracking them

Quick links:

Spring 2011 projects

  • {o} School: GPA >= 3.75

    • {*} Apply to UNC

    • {o} Get advice on what to major in and how to get involved in research work

    • Attendance: Two unexcused absences for each class and PY lab
  • {o} GRK: Learn Attic Greek well enough to read simple texts

    • Suggestion: NT Greek. It's koine, a simpler (and later) dialect that you already have a good deal of grammar for. Best book to start with is Mark. You might also consider (and I would be more than happy to read with you, as I have a Greek/Italian pony of it) Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, a similarly late text. --SteveKillen

    • Midterm: 88%
  • {o} MA: Use both Stewart and Spivak; follow a reasonable study schedule

    • Test 1: 69%; Test 2: 98%
  • {o} PHI: An excellent opportunity to read Frege and Russell

  • {o} PY: Not difficult; don't skip class; establish a solid foundation for more interesting physics classes

    • Test 1: 95%
  • FreeSoftware

  • Esperanto
    • {o} Retake Lernu's basic tests. Mi ne estos eterna komencanto! :)

    • {o} Attend at least one EsTri meeting

    • {o} Package the Reta Vortaro for Debian

  • Personal/Miscellaneous
    • {o} Come out as GenderQueer

    • {*} Visit Rachel during spring break

    • {o} Visit Rachel after exams

    • {o} Write one letter to Rachel per week when apart

    • {o} Exercise three times per week (not including commute)
