Not much else going on. I ran my first half marathon and took my first trip to Disneyland. So much of my time was spent preparing for the trip and the race. Other than that nothing really exciting. Catching up on the Star Wars books which have come out in the last year and a half, which I had no time to read until now.

2015 Personal Goals - Initial Post

As a recap of the previous years we have:

2010: 14% completed
2011: 30% completed
2012: 48% completed (counting partial completions)
2013: 28% completed (counting partial completions)
2014: 37% completed (counting partial completions)

Again my dissertation occupied a majority of my time last year, especially during the first half of the year. But thankfully that was completed on August 1st, and left me with time to catch up on a good many things that had been pushed to the wayside. So, although not everything was done that I wanted to last year, I got more accomplished than I hoped to and hopefully I can get some good stuff done in 2015.
