Results of the Autumn break of 2010.

Grr… Not exactly happy at the results this time round… To think I had two weeks, and gotten so little done… (Well, little in my opinion) Either I can’t manage my time well enough, or that there wasn’t enough time… So, from my list that I wrote two weeks ago, here’s what I’ve completed/not completed, makred with crosses and ticks.

Budget – $200
Actual Spending – $191 in terms of general expenditure. Then add $230 for my new set of speakers, (of which, $100 was subsidised by the selling of my old ones)

Create a timetable over these holidays so I can organise myself better. (Taking work into account)
Have allocated time for Study, Anime, Tech, Projects etc.
Do serious catch up on subjects that I payed very little attention to last term.
Read book, allocated for English. (Fahrenheit 451) (Only a third of the way through)
Read book, Alice in Wonderland.
Learn to cook awesome-ish food. (Starting with Japanese, of course)
Listen through A LOT of music that I asked Leon to dump on me.

Projects that I would like to be completed.
Create a plan for my website and website content /(Yes and no as I have sort of made plans, but nothing that can be uploaded yet)
Separate my website into categories, instead of one single blog.
Complete entry for our “Sleek Geek” video
Two Experimental Projects
Clean/reorganise my room. -ish
Create/Begin AMV of any sort. (Clannad or Ookami AMVs in Mind) (Begun, but may be scrapped)
Create/Begin AMV for Umineko to Beatrice’s Character Song “Chains”

Outings
Is anyone planning a Poker Day?
Several trips around to friend’s places. (Highest priority: Bevan’s for his just arrived Nanoha figure)
Only ONE trip down to City. (Still variable though, as priorities change quickly) (Only one and a half =D)
Tea Party?
Disney Marathon? (And was awesome.)

Anime that MUST be seen/followed/completed:
Code Geass: Lelouch if the Rebellion
Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A’s
Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood
My Neighbour Totoro
Summer Wars
Ouran High School Host Club
Angel Beats!

Gadgets:
Buy Netbook/Laptop (Very unlikely)

Not-needed but Anime stuff I am likely to buy.
Place pre-orders (Nanoha Puchi Nendoroids, and the OP/ED CD for Angel Beats!)
A wall scroll maybe of some sort. (but shipping them is expensive)

Maybe I should stop planning these slightly ambitious plans… They make me feel depressed and make me think I can’t do anything… Also, considering that 60 hours of work over the holidays pretty much means I also attended 10 days of school as well (‘cept for the transport).

I also ran into a few hiccups during the holidays, namely when my computer got some super annoying malware after me trying to find video codecs for my computer and trying to get my Sony Vegas to recognise them. As a result, my computer was out of action for a day as I re-installed Windows.

As a result, I can’t say I was completely satisfied with the results of my Autumn break… But time off school was nice… I guess…
