The New Year's Resolutions Thread

This is the time of year when we share New Year's Resolutions in this space. After a 2014 that saw me get tenured, start my new job as department chair, get a book contract and become engaged, 2015 is going to be a hard follow-up act. However, there are plenty of things I’ll be working on this year. This includes:

1. Get Married - June 20 is going to be the most important date for me this year. when I’ll be marrying Kate Douglass at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens in Richmond, VA. It’ll be one hell of a party.

2. Finish the Book - Now that I’ve got a contract for my book on the images of social studies teachers in Hollywood films, I have to finish the manuscript by December.

3. Break the 50 Lap Mark - I’ve been swimming in the Fredonia pool at lunchtime more consistently since the fall in order to break up my long workday. So, it’s high time that I reached my goal of 50 laps during the hour.

So, what's on your list - do tell.
