Reach 300 students at MTMS  Open in new Window. by 12/31/11:
I'm a bit bleh (I'm coining adjectives. Sue me after you admit you understood what I meant.) about this today. I spent the last two days moving out of my "office" (originally a lesson room on the floor plan) to open up space for students. Kind of a if-you-build-it-they-will-come philosophy, I suppose.

Reading: One book per week.
*Writing* Still rolling. Edward just proposed. Like, formally (big surprise.) I have been enjoying the book a lot, but some things about S.M.'s writing have caught my attention. First, her (or her editor's) comma usage is atrocious. Second, her "newspaper article" read more like just more narrative than an actual newspaper article. Third, her suspense isn't working on me. I've predicted just about every surprise "revelation" so far, and I'm not one of those readers who always figures out what's coming. Still, I'm reading it noticeably faster than I read Jules Verne, and that has to be a good thing. Her pacing is flawless, and her characterizations invoke empathy (although, the whole Bella-and-Edward love story is a bit too fairy-tale unrealistic for my taste... even though I'm well aware how that shit sells.)

Writing:
(1) *Thumbsup* Blog at MT.com  Open in new Window. by the end of Wednesday: Yes, and I SEO-optimized (excuse the redundancy) my last several posts, too. Go, me.
(2) *Thumbsdown* 30 minutes of daily freestyle writing: Bleh.

Count points:
Morning weigh-in: ?
Yesterday's points: 30-ish
