Non-Teaching Session 2013 Objectives

Well, here it is -- my annual non-teaching session.  Each year, DeVry University requires each full-time faculty member to take one session where he/she does not carry a teaching load.  Mine started yesterday.

Here are the objectives I set forth for the various roles I play:

Professor:	Guide a student group on a Java-based client project, participate in some outreach events, and attend the Faculty Symposium.
Software Engineer:	Finish my CSDA certification and port functionality from MHF2 to MHF3.
Game Developer:	Get a test level set up for [SECRET PROJECT] and learn Illustrator well enough to create a vector version of the new MHFramework logo.
Father:	Work on words and vocabulary every day with Avery.
Husband:	Get my stuff organized and help Michelle with housework while she's taking a difficult grad school class.
Gamer:	Play a game every day.
Human:	Miscellaneous things, like organizing my desk and library, moving things to storage, mounting stereo speakers in my office/man cave, and plenty more.

I'll post an occasional update on my effectiveness (or lack thereof) on these goals.
