A Change!

In order to enact a change in my life, I'm giving up reading for November--November will be NoNoReMo, Not Novel Reading Month for John. That means not reading LJ or Facebook for a bit, not reading novels, not rereading things--my default activity is to sit down and read.

I hope to replace reading with walking, working, and cleaning, but it remains to be seen. Email I'll still do.

By the end of the month I hope to have had 20 days of exercise (hour or more of exercise per day), 20 days of house projects (hour or more) and be enrolled in a graduate program for the teaching certificate.

As for the comic...I just happen to love it!

Oh, and for the Rally:

Good luck! I would find that quite a challenge. I cut back on reading novels when doing my PhD, but LJ and Facebook quickly filled in the gap. I hope that you not only achieve the goals of exercise and house projects, but find them very enjoyable.

Congratulations. I look forward to hearing about the teaching certificate program. My sister went back for a PhD at 52 after large amounts of non-profit/corporate drama with a group she helped found because the PhD would give her a better platform for the future. She's finding the actual being in school part again enjoyable.
