This is boring...I've spent my entire holiday break writing a manuscript from some of my previous research. It had a deadline of January 1st...and of course I waited too long to start working on it, which meant I had to give up my break for it. I am at least happy to report that it is finished and submitted! Spending time writing my paper kept me away from some family time, but it was a good time to reflect and think about my goals for the next year. My dog was so bored that she would go up to my bedroom and play and rest up there, while I was typing away at my computer on my kitchen table downstairs. I felt like a total nerd, so much so, that my dog doesn't event think I'm cool right now.
At this juncture, my big goals are to: (1) continue making physical progress by focusing on getting stronger, and becoming more competitive at swimming, (2) keep progressing in my career, and (3) make time to enjoy the little things in life, since I know more than most how quickly life can change on you.
