What I did last year


Completed self-assessments for quality assurance analyst and specialized support clerk positions to figure what my strengths are and what I need to work on.

Signed up for Practical Philosophy classes.

Got information on Northeastern graduate programs.

Finished a three page sample of "A Little Death" for the comic book illustrator's comic club end-of-the-year book.

Applied for two new positions opened up in the company.

Developed an Excel spreadsheet to calculate pricing for multiple surgeries, surgeries with doctor's visits, and multiple post-operation care visits. Used not just mathematical formulae, but logical conditions.

Write 19 pages of new poems and sent them to different people.

Searched for the best possible job in different colleges from April to July. Will apply for more academic jobs in September. If that doesn't work out, apply for jobs at best companies.

Finished outline of I-Con Mad Science project focusing on natural language interface for a time travel machine. However, it was cancelled. Perhaps I will use it to get some feedback and put it into my portfolio.

Interviewed for two internal positions and positions at Priscilla's, Harvard Medical School, MIT, Curry College, and Wellesley

Signed up for twelve weeks of belly dancing classes and completed them.

Sent in an entry for a plagiarism contest.

Tried to hold a demo at I-Con. No one came.

Was called for an interview at the Museum of Science, but was tired and demoralized, so made an excuse why I couldn't interview.

Decide on experimenting with writing a novel, an illustrated work, and a non-fiction book.

Wrote an idea for a non-fiction work, and started doing reading on it.

Finished taking classes preparing for MOUS certification

Completed PowerPoint presentation summarizing ways I could fund going to graduate school

Arranged studying with a friend for A+ certification

Moved into Durable Medical Equipment department and started a month of training.

Narrowed down search to four colleges with linguistics, library science, and speech language pathology concentrations. This is for the purpose of the funding proposal. However, the context may be plans to develop software to help adults with dyslexia and dyscalculia, or maybe illustrated instruction on it.

Revised goals and added rewards to mitigate against fatigue and frustration.

Wrote characters, plot, genre, and themes for a feature film I hope to finish by next year. Gave it up due to changing plot and anger over recent actions by ABC.

Finished applying to best possible jobs in colleges and universities. Will hold on applying to more jobs until December.

Paid off credit card.

Signed up to be a research assistant for the Boston church directory, but really did not have time.

Expressed interest in working with the Aspergers Association of New England to push for more services for adults on the autistic spectrum.

Edited issues 1-4 of A Little Death. However, my illustrator wants to hold off and revise completely the concept. I still need to work on that.

Revised goals yet again

Completed a Danny Elfman mood theme with Kaitlin's help.

Signed up for driving school. The price includes 5 weeks of classes and driving hours. Passed written exam for class time.

Set up a high-interest savings account.

Took over reading night when my housemate left for a place closer to her school

Stayed up all night playing solitaire, then got showered, dressed, and kept sane.

Signed up for a free class on Judaism

Become someone's secondary, as it were.

Finished some complete sonnets written for someone.

Sent notes on DME to trainer and business analyst. They seemed to appreciate it.

Sewn an I-Pod cozy and slippers for holiday gifts. Came out better than I thought.

Became point-person for a certain complicated type of edits and trained some of the processors in a couple of edits.

Joined a writer's group and started the habit of writing three pages a day.

Completed an Esperanto course certificate
