goal bonanza!

Goals in progress:

#17 - Attend an academic conference
I'm please to report that I've submitted a paper for the SSSR (google it) conference in September and that my paper has been accepted. So, I should be completing this goal in September. There's also a possibility that I'll be attending a conference this summer, but either way, progress is being made on this.

Goals completed:

#65 - Crochet a pair of legwarmers

Finally, this goal is complete, only 8 months after I started working on it! The legwarmers are in the mail on the way to Megan and should be arriving shortly. I had Viky take a photo of them, so look for that in the next couple days.

#99 - Learn a new crochet stitch

Today I learned the half double crochet (hdc). In honor of Valentine's Day, I'm crocheting a heart-shaped potholder because I'm lame and have no life and I like kitschy stuff and I used the half double crochet in that. I'm starting with the heart potholder because it's easy and working my way up to a potholder that looks like an ear of corn.

Goals that I really need to work on:

#32 - Send $$ for the tsunami relief on the one year anniversary

Okay, so the one year anniversary of the tsunami has past, and I totally fail at completing this goal. I've been trying to look for reputable organizations to make my donation to, but I'm kind of busy with school so I haven't had a lot of time to do the research. If any of you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know!
