Well the personal issues from last year have followed me into this year but I am solidering on! I did attempt to replace some of my loss with 2 new cats! They are adorable.

So what are my goals for this year? Well I would like to get most of my thesis written in at least rough draft format. There is also 5 articles I would like submitted (in no particular order):

1. The Wellbeing SIG autoethnography article
2. The Self-efficacy SIG article
3. The grant project article on discourses
4. The OLD article with Bryce and David from FedUni
5. PhD article

I’m expecting a book chapter to come out this year and hopefully at least one of the articles above as well. It’s more likely that the five of them will be 2026 but that’s ok.

My final goal it to introduce the Learning Disposition Wheel to my students and explicitly talk about learning with them using it. I’m hoping I can build it and turn it into an intervention that becomes a reserach project and fuel for a learning and teaching award. It’s the beginning of a long term plan I guess. See how it goes! I make no promises!

Well I will leave it at that for now! Lots of work to do!
