ROW80 – 2023 – Round 3 – Check-in 5 (August, 6th 2023)
Hi everyone!
Note: To keep posts short, I’ve made a Trello board with my goals for the year. Feel free to check it out if you want to know more about the bigger plan.
My word for the week (and the Round actually) is LATE.
I haven’t posted in a while due to loss and grief, which made me refocus on my family.
Goals became quite secondary and still are. So I just do whatever I feel like doing, without any set objective or deadline. Any progress is good anyway, right? And to be honest, I’m just glad I managed to get a few PASSES under the circumstances.
Thankfully, the new semester is not too challenging and though I did not do the amount of preparation I had in mind, I still feel confident I can pass.
On the plus side, most of my research is on anime and manga right now, so even though I have to take notes every now and then, it can be quite relaxing actually. 🙂
Work is going well too, and I don’t have any pressing matters to deal with, so the delay in working on my goals is not so bad.
August Goals
September Goals
Round 3 Goals & Wrap-up
Unsurprisingly, not many PASSES this time but that’s fine.
Translating meditations has been put on hold for the time being and I’ve decided to drop some work goals (namely Online courses and Story Time) too as there is no rush.
As far as the house is concerned, my kid’s father and I are kind of in a gray area emotionally but at least our relationship is good now so I’ve decided to trust him since I’m not planning any big renovation soon. If I end up losing half a couple of doors’ worth (which I highly doubt), it’s just some money and it won’t make me regret finally resolving my trust issues.
