Non-Teaching Session 2013 Wrap-Up


It's over already? Really? Yep, my non-teaching session has come to and end and classes resume tomorrow.

So how did I do on the objectives I set for myself in the beginning? Let's break it down.
ObjectiveStatus
Guide a student group on a Java-based client project, participate in some outreach events, and attend the Faculty Symposium.Success. I did all of these things.
Finish my CSDA certification and port functionality from MHF2 to MHF3.Failed to complete my CSDA. I have about three more weeks to my exam. I did succeed in porting a lot of functionality to the new engine though.
Get a test level set up for [SECRET PROJECT] and learn Illustrator well enough to create a vector version of the new MHFramework logo.Failed. Ran into dev environment issues on the project, and still don't have a vector version of the MHF logo, though I do have a few bitmaps.
Work on words and vocabulary every day with Avery.Worked on it daily, but he still doesn't talk.
Get my stuff organized and help Michelle with housework while she's taking a difficult grad school class.Success, but I think perfection in this endeavor may not be feasible.
Play a game every day.Success...pretty much.
Miscellaneous things, like organizing my desk and library, moving things to storage, mounting stereo speakers in my office/man cave, and plenty more.Success. I did almost everything I'd planned. in this area.
