Thursday Open Thread

[virescence]

Hello, group_xers! It's time again for another open thread. And this time someone put me in charge.

This week my brain is totally dominated by dissertation-writing/editing, so in my complete inability to think about anything else, I've decided to make the subject of this Open Thread: Achievements. What have you achieved lately that you're proud of? What are you working towards achieving, or hope to achieve someday in the future?

(Note: this doesn't just mean big achievements, or only academic ones - anything that you have or plan to achieve, however big or small, once-in-a-lifetime or day-to-day, come tell us about it! And don't feel compelled to stick to the topic if you have something far more interesting or important to share.)

Also note: today's open thread is public.

Yesterday I bought all of the things I need for my college dorm move-in on Sunday (I lived at home the first two years), including a very soft and cozy comforter and pillow for the bed. The next achievement will be packing everything and actually moving in, which...well, I have a feeling it'll end up being more stressful than the shopping was, especially since my mother is supervising. :P I'm excited about living on campus, though, and I can't wait to get everything all set up in my room.

Good luck with your move-in! I hope your dorm turns out to be a nice place to live.

Thanks! It is pretty nice, since it's actually an apartment suite-style residence hall. There's four of us in the suite, and we share a living room, kitchen and bathroom but we each have our own bedroom, which is a huge bonus for me because I need my own space.
