Since its the new year now, it's probably timely for me to hit you with some cliched maxim and then hope to move on into deeper territory: achievements come in all shapes and sizes. It has been my experience that the size of the achievement usually impacts me less than it's shape; if it is something particularly odd I have done, like travel to Boston for clam chowder, it usually ranks high up there on my pride list. If its something that was expected, even if enormous, like graduating with a BS in science, it usually doesn't stick out in my mind. As a recent example, I flew to Texas and did a tremendous ammount of things this week, but cleaning up my newly fresh-smelling apartment was what really brought things together and made me feel like something had been done.
