Well I just realized that the downside to weekly goals is that I only will feel obligated to post weekly, or when I've finished my goals. And that stinks because I like talking.
I'd say I'm about halfway through the goals I set. Planning to finish the rest tomorrow. I accidentally took on a project for my science club that is a bit too big for the time I have to give to it, and my pre-existing skill set. The kids want to make Tesla coils.. and they couldn't wait until the next meeting so they talked me into holding a special meeting on Sunday to make it happen. =/ .. Right.. So overworked mom needs to a.) figure out how to make tesla coils* with middle schoolers that are at least moderately safe b.) go find the parts needed c.) figure out how to teach this to the kids and d.) ideally make a test to be sure it is all going to work before Sunday afternoon. While my husband is out of town. Anyway this is a long way of saying that I have been a bit busy, but still trying to push along the other goals, and also to improve the language area of this extra project, I started learning about tesla coils in French. I'm taking my notes and will make myself write a summary all in French.
*technically, I think what we are making are actually called slayer exciters
Also, my mom had dinner with a Russian neighbor tonight, who recommended some resources for me. They are resources her husband used. Unfortunately, he learned a few phrases and then stopped completely, so I'm not sure if that is really ringing endorsement for them

But I'll check it out when I get some time.
But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
