The End is Near (in more ways than one)

Left to go -- of the Lite version of Ten Tigers:
Pushups/Situps: 509 out of 10,000
Forms: done
Miles: 11.2 out of 150
Sparring: 0 required (completed 1782 minutes, not required in Lite, but tracked anyway)
Cardio 2-minute rounds: 0 required (completed 193 --again, not required in Lite, but since I was doing it in class ...)
Stances: 33 out of 1825 minutes (now isn't it odd to have spent as much time in stances as sparring?)
Acts of Kindness: done 376/365 (I think I'll keep doing these ...)
Blogging: long since done. Yep, I'm wordy.
Empathy: 16 days without electricity should suffice.
Private lessons 11/12 done (1 to go!)
New undertaking, community action or env cleanup: I am learning to teach community college students (who are different from any group of students I've had yet), I am learning to officially save for retirement in an organized way, I've helped with Hopeful Tomorrow fundraisers, but I have not yet done a thing about cleaning up the environment in any organized way. As a matter of fact, I was caught just the other day casually throwing away a plastic bottle. More work to be done in this category.
Books of wisdom: Read and distributed to others. More on the way.

The dissertation is NOT done -- a goal I had set alongside the Ten Tigers requirements. It's hard to reset after a complete miss. I'm having a little trouble with motivation and seeing the possibility of ever getting it finished.

My new goal is to have the dissertation completely drafted (though it cannot be edited and approved) by the time Ten Tigers begins again (February 1, 2010). I'll take a step toward that right now by ending this incredibly long blog and finding my research that is buried on this desk ...

Another new goal: reduce procrastination.
