Actually, I have already done that for the most part (1e and 2e lists)...

As for what icons I want to do from these lists, a few I am thinking of:
MSII: Troglodyte
MSIII: Giant tick
MSIV: Owlbear, hell hound, ice toad
MSV: Minotaur, giant spitting snake (sea lion)
MSVI: Manticore, ogre magi, salamander (triton)
MSVII: Bone devil, other demons/devils (morkoth, manta ray)
...but I am just thinking

Well, there is just one monster from the above lists that I have already started many months ago, but just left unfinished...
As for patience and school, I once got mad at my mom for coming so late, but then she got even madder, so... I soon got used to waiting

(highlights of my time were spotting a cat, etc.)
