I completed 23 out of 52 goals.  As a teacher I look at that and see an F.  Oh well, I was never to concerned about my grades.
 
I am currently working on making a list of goals for 2012.  There will be a few unfinished 2011 goals making a comeback for this year, hopefully I will make it happen this time around.
