Ah, here we are once again, and also for the last time.
This summer has proven very productive and I thank those of you that have followed my progress. It's been fun, but now that I'm back at college, preparing to begin my Sophomore year, I am ready for summer to be over and to start classes. I'm very excited for the line-up this semester - lots of great classes and teachers!
Here's my final report of progress. Looks like I was able to manage to read one book per week (give or take) and watched one movie every few days. Writing the book took a month and a half, but I finished it! That was the main goal of the summer, and I got it done. Huzzah! I think I will do something similar to this next year as well. I like to-do lists more than is good for me, I think....
