Quarterly Update - 4th Quarter 2010

The quarter started out slowly, as I was trying to concentrate on finishing my semester. My goal of actually reaching 25,000 pages in the year, which looked hopeless in February, looked very possible at the end of August, and then became impossible by October. But once I finished with school, I did a lot of reading in December (which was something I didn't do last year, because I was too depressed expecting poor grades; this semester I expected (and received, thank you) good grades, so my motivation did not flag), and I passed 20,000 pages for the first time since 2006 (the last year I was not a student).
