How is it the start of the final Round of Words in 80 Days for 2015 already?? Where did the year go? This final Round will take us right up to Christmas, finishing on December 24.
Anyway, I know that last Round I only really got my studies done. I’ll try to do better this Round! So without further ado, here’s my list of goals:
Finish course CCC505 by Halloween
Finish course CCC501 by 08/11
Start course MA502
Start course CCC503
Read one book per week
Write at least 20.000 words during NaNoWriMo
Do DDP Yoga every day (once DVDs arrive)
Joining us for a Round of Words? Here’s the ROW80 Linky!
Is it already time for the third Round of Words in 80 Days of 2015? Where did the previous two rounds go??
A new round also means a new set of goals to achieve. I actually did really well in the last round, and I already know I’ll be busy with grad school. I won’t get to do much writing, but I hope to get quite a bit of other stuff done.
For those just joining this blog and those unfamiliar with ROW80, the rules are very simple. You need to have a blog. There are weekly check-ins via the Linky on the ROW80 Website you’ll need to link an update to on Wednesdays and Sundays. You get to set your own rules – they just have to be measurable. Instead of saying “I want to read more books” you should say “I want to read [x amount] books” or “Write 2 chapters per weeks” etc.
There are no prizes, but there is a great community that checks in on the progress you’ve made, and encourages you to keep going.
Another week, another to do list. Having these weekly goals actually helps me focus on my tasks.
This week’s list is quite long, and includes academic goals (assignments), supplement courses, blogging and a Rock ‘n’ Roll Reading. Yes, that’s right. This week is the benefit concert and reading to save a local cultural organisation called Cow Club. Rock music and literature – perfect!
Some of the blog posts are already scheduled or just need photos now, so it’s not as much as it looks.
I’m not gonna lie. It’s not gonna be pretty. There’s so much to do this week and I don’t know where to start.

Plus, you know, update the blog (the scheduling isn’t really working out for me right now… ), write a few things I’d really love to write but don’t have time for, and you know, maybe grab a drink with friends.
But there’s no decent pub in this godforsaken place and I’m sick of having to go to the same bistro over and over. I want a beer, dammit. This week is already off to a spectacularly bad start and I’m not seeing it getting that much better. Maybe I should take up yoga and meditation so everything going on around me doesn’t affect me the way it does. For now, I just need to concentrate to get through the assignments and do as much as I can today.
