Patting My Own Back

I decided against blogging any New Year's resolutions this year. Writing down goals might be a handy thing to do. Setting broad and specific goals is quite important or life can slip by aimlessly. I think I have pretty much sized up what I want to get out of 2009 though. Even if not on paper or articulated, there are a number of things we will accomplish in these twelve months.


On the more immediate front, I've got a five-week course to teach starting on Monday. I went to campus today to do a course outline and some photocopying. I used to pride myself on being able to wing it in the classroom. I still can, but I have developed an excellent skill set for planning activities. If one has things clearly set out, then it's unlikely there'll be much wasted time. At BCIT we don't like to waste time.

I wish everybody, including those with whom I work, were as organized as I am.
