Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch

I'm still trying to decide how I feel about blogging so I'm not going to talk about that.

Instead I think I'm going to reflect on things.

Here I talked about how I wanted to read a book a month outside of class. That didn't go very well. I should be finishing my fourth and starting my fifth book by now but instead I've only read two. So I'm changing things up and posting all the books I've read since August:

Guyland (good book)
Nurture Shock (good book, anyone can read this and get something out of it, so you should read it)
The Spirit Level (good book, easily accessible, quick read) (I've got 2 chapters of this left but I'll be done by Thursday for sure)
Organizations Evolving (blah, class textbook and it reads like it)
Freaks of Nature (science-y but good)
Evolution in Four Dimensions (good book, really science-y)
Three Cups of Tea (good out-of-school reading material)

I skimmed the rest of Why Marriages Succeed or Fail, figuring I'd already gotten the gist of the book. I've got Stones Into Schools checked out from the library and I'm looking forward to finding time to read it. I took it to Disney with me but couldn't find the motivation to read more than a page in the car. (Maybe I'll post about Disney later this week. Just to record it.)

Finals are a week away and I've got three days left of class. I look forward to this part of the semester because there's so much freedom but hate it for the same reason. I'm so much more productive when I've got strict deadlines. At least I get a chance to tackle big things one at a time instead of working on lots of little things.

I'm still trying to decide if I should buckle down at home and work on stuff or if I should head into school, looking for structure around me.

(This post is mostly so that I can remind myself that I DO do a lot of stuff, DO learn things, accomplish things, etc. Sometimes I get trapped in what I haven't done yet, it's good to look back at what else I have been doing.)
