101 in 1001 Update

In progress:

I have gone and made some additions to the list (1 - 1) (1 -2), including:

• Read one chapter of Doktor Glas in Swedish (1 - 6)
• Acquire three new "nice" tops (2 - 9)
• Give feedback to Kat (7 - 6)
• 70,000 grains on FreeRice (12 - 7)

And I've updated (1 - 3) and commented elsewhere (7 - 4) regularly! Just not here. Hah.

I also started, but did not finish, The Jungle. Review forthcoming, but I am counting it as "read" for the purposes of this list. Thus, I "finished" another book off the TIME Top 100 Novels list. (3 - 3)



Completed:

None. :(


Failed:

I'm officially counting my Korean language goals as failed, as I had the unwritten goal of completing those before I left Korea. While I enjoy Korean and wish to continue studying it in the long term, in the short term I now have different priorities (like brushing up on my Swedish).

21 / 101 completed!
