There’s a lot of year left, so I’m sure I’ve forgotten some things, but it’ll be nice to have something to refer back to when I’m bored and don’t know what to do.

It’s funny – it’s only late February, which makes it feel like the year is just beginning.  However, New Year’s didn’t seem that long ago.  If the first two months of this year can pass by so quickly, who’s to say that I’ll be able to slow down the rest of the year?

I better get started on reading those books.

Any suggestions on other things I should be trying to do?  Things you want me to do?  Things you would do instead?
