As you know, 'be a better blogger' was one of my New Year's Resolutions, and I hope you've been enjoying my efforts! But, as I said, it is only one of my resolutions, as evidenced by this snazzy list I made with Audra:
So here is how the list is coming:
Be a better blogger: Well, this doesn't actually take much to accomplish, since I was a pretty infrequent blogger for the past year and a half. But I think I'm doing pretty well so far! In addition to my Picture of the Day posts, I've had more normal posts this past month than any other month before. I have also been adding tags to my posts, which I think adds a little something. A goal for February is to do a little more personalization - choose a new background, maybe play around with the set up a bit (in addition to keeping up my posts!) Status: In Progress
Earn my masters: Ok, so this one was kind of a given. Assuming I don't fail at my thesis, I will have my Joint Masters in Digital Library Learning this year. But it will still be a lot of work and a main focus for me over the next half year, so I decided to include it. So, how is it going? Well, my final assignment for last semester was due yesterday, now it's time to focus fully on my thesis. I will be meeting up with my thesis adviser this week to chat about my topic and my master plan :p Rasmus and I have been studying several hours every day, so I hope to make a lot of headway on The Beast.

Run a marathon: Haven't picked out which marathon quite yet (probably in June), but we've been running daily! Woot! Status: In Progress
Pop Money: Since pop is so expensive here in Norway (a half-liter bottle is about $2.75 in the supermarket, $3.45 at school, and $4.45 at the 7-11) and I drink way too much anyway, I decided to wean myself off of it while back home -- and to keep track of how much money I save. I haven't had any pop this year, but since mom was paying while I was home, that time doesn't really count. After 16 days in Oslo, I have saved at least $44 by not drinking any pop, and likely more, as I would normally have several a day, so we'll round it up to $50. Of course, I have not forsaken pop altogether. I brought six Diet Dr. Pepper bottles from home, for the occasional high of bubbly caffeine. :-) Status: Kickin' a$$ -- $50 saved
Make mom a scrapbook of our Eurotrip: Audra and I did this one when I was home. (She had the great idea of making an easy resolution that we could check off our list early to get some momentum.) Status: Completed
Be more stylish: This is pretty subjective, but, from my point of view, I've been doing a standup job :p Status: In Progress
