This Quarter's Master Plan

Alrighty, this is my plan for the quarter. The plan may be a little much, due to the other four classes begging for attention but Id rather over shoot on my goals than short change myself. At the beginning of next quarter I should be ready to animate. The nice long break in-between the quarters will also be used to catch up with anything not achieved this quarter.
