Wow, an update.

So, I haven't updated in MONTHS, but a whole lot has happened since March, lol. I graduated, got a job substitute teaching, met new people, done new things... Let's go through what I've done so far:

COMPLETED

1. Finish TWS
That project was a beast... and was the last goal that I wrote about on here, back in March

2. Survive student teaching
I almost didn't. There was a point where I had a total melt down after school one day, but I pulled myself back together and definitely improved myself from it

3. Pass Early Childhood Praxis
Booyah! I am certified to teach widdle ones! I didn't even take any classes for EC, but I still passed the certification exam, haha!

4. Graduate college
AWESOME.

10. Successfully parallel park w/o embarassing myself
I actually did this last week... I parallel parked perfectly. Might have been a fluke, but I am going to count it.

17. Host a party at my apartment
My Fourth of July party was a lot of fun :D

23. Go a month without fast food
I did it back in January/February, but I am going to do it again pretty soon.

28. Take a Tai Chi class
I joined a gym (YAY!) and now take the yoga/tai chi/pilates class several times a week

35. Get my fortune read
I got my tarot read in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. It was really interesting!! It was a lot of good news for my love life, but now I am starting to doubt that all those great things are really going to happen.

36. Go skinny dipping
Okay, so I was totally naked except for a pair of panties. Does that still count? I say yes, since I did it while sneaking into a closed pool. I did this a couple times too.

45. Beat Super Mario Bros. Wii
I love that game!

79. Make a new friend
I've made a couple!

83. Do one thing that I thought I would never do
I honestly don't remember exactly what that thing was that I thought I would never do, but since then I have done a few more also. I'll remain mysterious on this one for a while longer...

88. Find a bra that actually fits
Not only did I find a great bra that fits, but I discovered my problem to begin with. I was fitted and found out that I was wearing the wrong size. I am actually a 38F. Did you know F was even a size??? I didn't.

So excited tonight!!

Well, this is a big moment in my higher education career... I have finished my Teacher Work Sample, the final project between me and graduation!!! So exciting!! That was my very first goal on the list, soooo...

1. Finish my Teacher Work Sample before it is due (completed!!)

and technically, it is before it is due, since it is not due until tomorrow at 10:15am. I wanted to be done much sooner, but it was impossible since I had to reteach a bunch of lessons, it took two and a half weeks... it was the-suck. Oh well, it is done!!

In other goal-related news, I saw three new movies last night. Two that I liked, one that scared the shit out of me (and I do not think being scared is fun, yuck.) I saw Zombieland (hilarious!), Paranormal Activity (the ending scared me shit-less. I had to have my friend walk me to my car, I slept with all the lights on...), and yesterday I saw Alice in Wonderland in the theater.

47. Watch 100 movies I have never seen before (14/100)

Haven't updated in a while

You know how it goes; you get busy and things you enjoy get put to the side. Oh well, time for some me-time.

1&2: Within 1 week I will be done with my teacher work sample, and I am halfway through student teaching!! Huzzah!

13: Wrote another letter! Might write one today.

20: I have lost only 7 pounds since I started this, but that is pretty much with a diet-change only, so that's good.

47: I have seen 11 movies this year. I watched The Box last night with Cameron Diaz, and it is officially the strangest movie I have ever seen. It is not good, actually, it is very frustrating because they never tell you what the heck was going on!!!

That's about it for now. :)

Feed the Vampires!!

I got home today and saw an email in my inbox about a blood drive, so voooom, I was there! LoL, I love donating blood, does that seem strange? :D Today was my 16th donation, that is TWO GALLONS of blood, and 48 lives potentially saved!! I got a little pin, lol.

I almost didn't get to give today. Apparently, my left hand is anemic, but my right hand is not.

61. Give blood at least 3 times a year (1/8)

I have been so busy!!!

I have had like NO time to update this blog, but I am still slowly chugging along through my goals! I completed a big one today:

23. Go a month without fast food -- Completed!!!

Whooo! I miss it a little bit. I am tempted to let myself get it every once in a while, but I am definitely not going back to eating it as much as I used to! I almost stopped for an egg mcmuffin this morning, but I decided against it :)

I messed up on the vitamin one... I missed like three days in a row, so I am going to just start over. Bummer, I was two-thirds of the way through that goal. :(

I never sent that letter that I blogged about in my last post, but I wrote a new one tonight and I am going to pop it in the mailbox when I get done updating on here. So that will be...

13. Write 15 letters the old fashion way (3/15)

That's about it, right now. I am student teaching, so like I said, I am INSANELY busy. I am totally going to bed after I mail that letter. G'night all!

One Month Down!!

Here's the 101-in-1001, month 1 update!!

I have TWO goals completed!
45. Beat Super Mario Bros. Wii
79. Make a new friend

1. Finish my Teacher Work Sample
2. Survive Student Teaching (3 weeks down! 13 to go!)
13. Write 15 letters the old fashion way (2/15, gonna write another tonight)
20. Lose 30 pounds (5/30, I weigh myself Monday mornings, so we'll see if that number changes!)
23. Go a month without fast food (22/30, I feel so much better for this!)
24. Remember to take a vitamin every day for a month (21/30)
26. Go for a walk, just because, twice a month (2/66)

55. Start a change jar and keep it up
63. Compliment a stranger at least once a month (1/33)
100. Finish a coloring book! (I've got a Winnie the Pooh coloring book!)

Finished reading...

I just finished reading Dear John. I don't know how I feel about this one. In the beginning I was completely pulled in, then the middle on was completely depressing. The ending... I suppose was what it was suppose to be. It left me feeling so sad. And I had to pray that my John never has to feel like that.

But anyway, I read another book, which was pretty impressive considering how insanely busy and stressed I have been. But I need to find time to fit reading in, because I really love to sit down with a book.

38. Read 52 books in 2010 (6/52)

Also been really doing well with remembering to take a vitamin, and I haven't had ANY fast food in 18 days. Go me! Coincidentally (haha) I have lost 5 pounds in two weeks. Kick-ass!
