Actually, I started this goal/project/experiment/whatever-it-is on August 1st, 2006, but I launched LearningNerd.com exactly one year ago today.
So where am I right now in terms of learning everything? Well, as I’m sure you’ve noticed, I haven’t made a substantial post since I started college. I was joking when I said it was Time to Stop Learning and Start College, but so far that’s exactly how it is! 
Since I’m getting all my general education classes out of the way first, I’ve been suffering from boredom and stress at the same time.
But I plan to change that soon. With Thanksgiving and a long winter break coming up, I’ll try to find a better way to manage my time. Because I’m incredibly frustrated with my life right now: sleep, go to class, read for class, write twenty pages for class, eat, sleep again. I hope next semester will be easier, but if it isn’t, I’ll just have to make time. I don’t want my life to revolve around college. I don’t want to put anything on hold for four years. Is that impossible?
Anyway, within the next month I want to get back to posting more often — substantial stuff, not just my weekly word series. I also want to redesign the site again, but I’ll try not to get ahead of myself. 
Hey Liz,
Sadly thats how college goes, and gets worse when you get into the important classes. I am taking 16 credits right now, and I can barely post too!
While college is definitely time-consuming (sometimes life-consuming), hopefully it doesn’t also feel like “putting your life on hold for four years.” At some point, you’ll transition from general ed (which may indeed feel tangential) into your major courses, which hopefully will have some value to your learning goals.
The time spent will feel like it has more payoff at that point!
Chris – Are your classes at least interesting? Does the work load get worse for the higher-level courses? Because my 16 units right now are just giving me one essay after another. I can’t imagine having any more work than this!
Kiri – Thanks for the cheering up, hehe. I do look forward to getting these boring classes over with. In fact, I think next semester will be much more interesting. But that payoff better be good! *grumble grumble*
oh and here’s another thing… the book can also be a hat!
keep the project…
for every answer 99 questions will rise! teach that or claim you find god and all doubt will cease to exist…
I sympathize. I feel that way about my job and there isn’t really an end in sight. It’s very hard to work on my own projects when my professional responsibilities get in the way.
