Yes, except that "alreay" should be "already" - but I suspect that was
just a typo rather than an actual error.
However, the wording is somewhat informal. It would be very appropriate
for a letter to a friend or relation; it would not be ideal for a job
application or CV. (The phrase "tell you about" implies that you are
going to describe things in detail.) If you are thinking of a CV, it
would be better to re-cast it along the following lines:
During 2005, I have already done the following:
(a) - brief details, probably one single sentence
(b) - brief details as above
(c) - brief details as above
(d) - brief details as above
During the rest of 2005, I intend to do the following:
etc.
