How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: Frosting: http://www.cooksrecipes.com/cake/basic-buttercream%20frosting-with-variations-recipe.htmlCake: http://www.all-creatures.org/mhvs/recipes-appsaucecake.htmlYou don't need to bake the cake quite as long when you're making cupcakes, and don't forget to use those paper baking-pan inserts.This came out sort of like carrot cake, since the cake has a similar sort of taste and texture. I added some ground walnuts on top. Read how I did it…
It made me
righteous
How I did it: Went to the website and looked at the long list of volunteer opportunities. Went to the orientation, had some pizza, and signed up! I've staffed events, helped with fundraising, did some election phonebanking, and help escort people past the protesters. I might become a recovery room volunteer or a procedure room volunteer, or get more involved as a counselor in the future. Read how I did it…
It made me
hot
How I did it: It's a little expensive, so I stay after class 3x/ week and clean the mirrors to cover the costs of my yoga practice. Someday I think it'd be fun to get officially certified as a Bikram instructor (there's a nine-week course taught by the man himself, with scholarships available). Read how I did it…

What’s your favorite program that helps with this (blocks certain sites, blocks internet for stretches of time, helps in other ways)?
publish two more book chapters or articles in peer reviewed journals based on my dissertation research (read all 6 entries…)
Approached by a journal editor who may be interested in a paper. There’s also a deadline for an anthology coming up, and my work would be a good fit for it. I’m also considering submitting the whole thing as a book, although a chapter in an anthology and 1-2 journal articles might be better.
