Saturday (Feb. 20th) was Day 8 of the competition. Here's the list of categories and the tasks I've completed so far:
Didn't get much done for the games today. Got side tracked with something else (see "Sometimes You Don't Know Where You Are" below) but that was interesting. Tomorrow I'm getting back to the Organization category. There's room for a lot of work there.
1. Go Back and Cite Your Sources. (Diamond Medal earned so far)
