(24/101) --> What I've completed thus far, with notes. =)

  • Go to a farmer's market
    • In Tatamagouche, Nova Scotia. We bought some really delicious pies!
  • Go to a party
    • The first weekend I was on campus! Lol.
  • Choose a second major
    • Latin American & Caribbean Studies
    • Also decided French will probably be my minor
  • Befriend a professor
    • Dr. Q technically befriended ME over the summer, but now it's a lot more real since we've actually met! He is one of the nicest people I know.
  • Go on a picnic
    • With Sarah (my sister) at the beach...it was great expect much too windy for eating outdoors.
  • Buy fish with Morgan
    • We have two beta fish named Sebastian and Flounder! (Yes, we know that Sebastian is technically a crab in the Little Mermaid but we're not supposed to have crabs in our dorm...)
  • Visit with Mrs. Whitney
    • This actually happened TWICE before I left for college, and both times, seeing her was amazing. She has the biggest heart and I love her so much.
  • Organize all digital photos
    • This was definitely an ongoing process, until one day I was looking through iPhoto and realized- HEY! I'M DONE!
  • Meet Dr. Quesada
    • Sigh...I put this on the list even though I knew it would be super-easy for me to accomplish. Nevertheless I made sure it happened asap after I got on campus, and we're meeting again this week!
  • Visit with Clara
    • Finally got to reunite with my oldest friend! I wish we'd had more time to spend together but the day and a half we had was still amazing.
  • Make a new friend
    • I'm not sure exactly when I crossed this off, because I've made quite a few new friends in college.
  • Keep a dream journal
    • I did this over the summer for a few weeks, and it was really fun. I don't seem to be remembering many of my dreams anymore, though.
  • Learn basic yoga
    • Went to my first ever yoga class with a friend last week and I definitely am starting to get the basics down. I love it.
  • Go to a show in Athens, GA
    • Went to a show that was part of PopFest last Friday...saw some great local bands.
    • I need to make this a HABIT (live music)!!
  • Learn to love the independence that comes with being single.
    • It's all really been sinking in these past few days.
  • Get my nose pierced.
    • FINALLY. Got it done at Pain and Wonder in Athens and so happy with the way it turned out.
  • Stop using artificial sweetener.
    • Pretty easy, but I am still tempted to put Splenda in my coffee or tea from time to time.
  • Go to a really nice vintage and/or thrift store.
    • Minx in downtown Athens CERTAINLY falls under this category. They have an unbelievable selection, fair prices, and gorgeous things for sale. I got a beautiful suede/leather jacket for $18!
  • Go to a new art gallery or museum
    • Went to an art show at the UGA Lamar Dodd School of Art. It was SO cool. Also went upstairs and looked at the different galleries of student work.
  • Kiss someone new
    • Went on a blind date with a great guy, made out on his bed while watching a movie. That's pretty much it :)
  • Bake a pie from scratch
    • I made an apple pie for Christmas, and my family raved about it- completely from scratch, my own crust and everything. It was pretty easy, and I'm planning on making a few more in the next month or so.
  • Make reading the newspaper (digitally or in print) a daily habit
    • Since I got my Kindle, I've been reading the NYT every single day, as it gets delivered to me each morning. My free trial ends February 25th, but I think I'm going to fork over the $20 so I can keep reading it :)
  • Get a job
    • Part-time sales associate at Mind Body Sole- an excellent shoe company dedicated to health, fitness, wellness, and community service! :)
  • See a play
    • Saw Phaedra at my boyfriend's school. It was actually a staged reading, and it was quite good.
