I havent posted in just about a year or so, but still accomplished a lot! I was looking through my 101 list, and there is a lot there that I'm quite sure I don't even want to do anymore, so it's gonna need to be revamped!

whoops

SO MUCH HAS BEEN GOING ON!!

It's summer vaca and I haven't even taken a break from school yet! Ok, yes I did, for about 4 days! I refused to open any book, worry about any paper, or finish any project related to school. As far as I'm concerned my life is over for the next two years straight, so I'm going to live it up RIGHT NOW!

I did finish a lot from my list without even knowing it, so time to update?

#16 Keep the Escopay clean and organized for one month:

it is clean! and organized according to my life style, which is a whole lot of moving around and staying out late and all of that goodness. YAY! And I'm planning on getting a Wrangler, so Escopay may be out of the picture soon!

#18 Earn a B in A+P II

while I did not accomplish this completely, I am crossing it off. I got a B-! Maybe this sounds like bullshit, but I didn't even think I was going to pass the class, and now I have a B-! It's the best grade I've ever gotten in a college anatomy class, and I'm EXTREMELY proud!

#98 Help mom and dad clean out the basement

IT'S DONE! You do NOT even realize! I completely should have taken pictures of this event. We rented out a dumpster and threw away 20+ years worth of shit and now our basement is beautiful! I even went as far to make my dad an awesome office :) HE LOVES IT! We are hooking up the internet in there and everything. Sooner or later he will be able to run his fly tying business out of there. IT WILL BE GREAT! Also very proud of this :)


YEAH!!!

ok ok, i forgot!

Yes, clearly forgot about the 101 until today. I realized I'm on a nice summer break now, so it's time to get shit done.

I somehow managed to accomplish a lot on this list lately..

11) I decided to rejoin the softball team I played on last year. It was up in the air because I had started working shifts on the nights we usually play, but I quickly switched that up, and I am now a member of the Vernon Diner softball team #3 Left Field!! And we are 2-1, so we're doing pretty good :)

33) Bo took me out in "The Bitch" and taught me how to drive, and I have since driven it successfully TWICE in Tolland! So I can "drive" stick, its just a matter of getting better!

39) Joe taught me how to use a butterfly knife. I can open and close it very slowly, but once I get my own I'll be able to mess around with it and learn how to do it quicker.



Other than that..

a) I moved out of my aunts on Friday, I'm now permanently residing in Tolland
b) I am now 20 years old!
c) I got my tax refund, siiiick surprise there!
d) School is over for the year. I'm not entirely sure what I got in anatomy, and this could be completely bad news seeing as if I don't get a C+ i WILL NOT BE A NURSE FOR 7 YEARS :(

ok, im tired. its now 1:00 am. good night and good morning

"That was easy"

So #17 is done. I'm actually going to drop off the clothes at the salvation army on my way down to Joe's today. This is very sad to say, but I figured out a lot about myself in this whole process.

It took about 2.5 hours to clean out all of the clothes, which is completely ridiculous...but it's because I have an insane amount of CDO about many many things that I didn't realize before. I started cleaning out my drawers, and then had to refold everything to put it back in the right way. Then I moved to the closet, which was a mess, so I had to take everything, EVERYTHING, out of it and reorganize that, which somehow made me really uneasy about my whole room so I had to move onto cleaning my entire room, setting up the computer in it so that all of the wires were hidden (because I hate wires being seen from really any electronical device) and then moving the rug around until it fit perfectly in the open floor space.

All in all this number was not hard to accomplish. I not only have a lot of free space, but a very clean room! I'm going to make some cookies and stuff now for the Noonan/Optiz/Delisle and now Carney household...sorry Karen...you are just a void in society I guess :)

The List

Dan was complaining about how my list is "so long" and stated that it needed to be broken up into sections, so I did that. ANNOYING! I can't believe I am actually going to go through with this, YOU ARE WELCOME KAREN, SINCE HALF THE REASON I MADE THIS WAS TO HELP YOU ACCOMPLISH YOUR 101. Anyway, I have now decided that today I am going to start my list. It is Monday February 16, 2009. (Sadly enough, I can't say that I truly believe that this will make me any less of the procrastinator than I already am). HERE IT GOES!

The Mission:
Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.

The Criteria:
Task must be specific (i.e. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable, or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (i.e. represent some amount of effort on your part).

THE LIST
(See right column)

P.S. For every number that I do not accomplish, I will donate $5 to a charity of my choice, probably something for animals.
