June 3, 2011

Time flies! Travel throws me a little off track when it comes to reviewing, but that’s okay – I’m back on the ground and will probably stay home for at least the next little while.

Based on March’s plans:

Work

• [X] Get a good prototype together for project C
• [X] Get the paperwork in place for project M
• [X] Prepare for training on project I
• [X] Help with other work
• [X] Assist with “Get Social, Do Business”

Relationships

• [X] Put together more study group resources
• [-] Practise driving – eep!
• [X] Prepare for May trip

Life

• [X] Start garden
• [X] Write and draw a lot
• [X] Focus discretionary time on plans and experiments

Mostly there, except for the driving bit! I may just register for classes again, or set up a training schedule with W- and stick with it. But it’s summer and I’d much rather bike than sit in a car. Excuses, excuses… =)

Here’s what went on in April and May:

April: Started learning Latin. Worked on Ruby on Rails project (yay!). Gave a presentation on training. Helped with math study group sessions. Sewed a dress.

May: Celebrated my sister’s wedding in the Netherlands! Wore the red dress I made. =D Started the garden. Deployed a PHP site and conducted training in Colorado. Started with community-supported agriculture. Shifted to eating lots of salad and vegetables. Lots of learning. Some sewing, too.

My favourite posts:

• Learning from Mr. Collins: Practice, conversation, and what to do when someone says something mean
• Developing a workflow with Autodesk Sketchbook Pro
• Notes from the airport: Missed my flight; not the end of the world after all
• Presentation draft: Mentoring on the Network
• Travel updates: GPS, Pearl Street, Vibram toe shoes
• Finding the bright side of business travel
• Back from the Netherlands
• Tweaking married life for everyday happiness
• Giving a presentation using Autodesk Sketchbook Pro and a web conference

How do I want June to add to my life?

I’m looking forward to lots of gardening, lots of biking, and lots of fruits and vegetables. Some of my friends are getting married – hooray! Work is ramping up, too. Back on the development track, making useful websites… Yay!
