The Year of 2010 and the BoB Awards
2010 is coming to an end and 2011 is right around the corner, lurking.
2011 will be a big year for me, personally, as many plans have been made.
First of all I plan to move out (which at the ripe age of 22 is about time!), but it will also be the year, the summer, where I (hopefully) get a bachelor degree in library science. It's hard to understand that I'm almost done with my education. First though I have to get through the exams waiting for me in January!
Many travel plans have also been made, including Iceland in the early spring, Kenya a bit later on, and Turkey in the late-summer.
Blog-wise, there are also plans. I have started on one of them already with my article on E-readers and replacing the physical with the digital. I hope to write many more articles - I don't have a set amount, but I will try and aim for at least one a month.
In regards to reading goals, I will once again attempt the 100+ Reading Challenge in 2011. I made it to 95 this year, so I think I have a chance!
And now for the BoB Awards!
