challenge update

The fact that we're now a quarter of the way through 2009 is mind-boggling. Truly. Anyway, it seemed like a good time to check out my challenge progress. While some of the ridiculously high number of reading challenges I so enthusiastically joined don't actually last the whole year, a good many of them do. And yes, I do already know that this is going to leave me depressed. (But it's a really good diversion from algebra, MLA, and DNA replication plans...I am getting far too adept at creating diversions.)

Wow - you're over at my blog saying I'm doing great with my challenges, but I only entered 8 of them. You have entered an AMAZING amount of these, and are doing a great job considering the numbers. I would fail MISERABLY if I had that many going on!!! So don't be depressed!

I'm sorry Debi, but I still have to laugh everytime I see your challenges all in one place! lol...I've actually been pretty good about not doing too many this year! We'll see if it sticks!

Wow - you are doing lots. I wasn't brave enough in my first year, but may try to do more next year. Good luck with it though.

I need to do this a quarterly update too. I'm kind of afraid to though. LOL

But you're making great progress on so many of them. I'm going easy this year, but I'm sure I'll find some more as we go along. Can't believe the year is a quarter of the way over either. Where does time go??
