 In recent years, I would recall each semester as simultaneously the best and worst I'd ever experienced. There would be an ever-widening chasm between the good students and the terrible ones, with no signs of such trends letting up.
-For the first time in a long while, and I'm not sure what really brought it on, I've actually started feeling a general sense of the semesters being far more productive than detrimental.

-To be sure, the terrible students are still challenging my perceptions of basic requirements of college eligibility and even human sentience, but somehow their embrace of mediocrity and ignorance isn't impacting me as acutely as it has in semester's past.

 ^  Objective  ^  Anticipated Completion  |
 |continue my French relearning endeavors  |the true aspiration of knowing a language is to never stop using it; ideally I'd love to create content, but in general, on-going insights from being multi-lingual (it really is the gift that keeps giving)  |
-|explore agriculture and carpentry, both as a developed skill but as a theme for concept presentation  |some students come from agricultural and carpentry backgrounds; it may be helpful to have deeper insight into these areas for encapsulating concepts in examples  |
+|continue to explore my agricultural pursuits, both as a developed skill but as a theme for concept presentation  |extended exposure to new domains allows me to better isolate familiar computing patterns  |
 |explore Calculus from a philosophical point-of-view  |this keeps popping up on my radar; I've just not had the opportunity to delve into it. With an increasing number of students being plug-n-chug calculator centric, I feel I need to expose them to the conceptual underpinnings of calculus, especially to aid in algorithm development  |
 |explore the haskell programming language  |Haskell is a functional programming language, and my endeavors have yet to really dig into this paradigm. Like French, it could offer up increasing insights and approaches to solutions  |
 ====Service Activity Objectives====
-|rebuild Lab46  |an activity I perform every few years to keep software up-to-date; depending on software release schedule  |
+|continue to implement resources  |with the major infrastructure reboot, there are still a number of auxiliary services not yet back in operation  |
-|update infrastructure to Debian 9 or similarly modern system  |whenever I get to it - not critical, but long term useful as current software ages  |
+|continue to maintain infrastructure  |whenever I get to it - not critical, but long term useful as current software ages  |
 |general content management system enhancements  |on-going, functionality generally implemented as needed  |
