I'm doing 29 things
I finished Madame Bovary a couple of weeks ago. Not a bad book. As a woman though, I found her extremely annoying and if I ever met her, I’d punch her in the face.

How I did it
It made me
feel cultured 
How I did it: I decided to spend my day off of work museum hopping since I get in to all the local museums for free with my museum badge. I went to the Museum of Natural History, the Botanical Gardens, MOCA, and the Sculpture Center. MOCA is in the process of building a new museum so I wanted to check out their current location before it is no more. It was great!

So far so good though I always make sure to read the summaries on Sparknotes.com after I finish a section to make sure I didn’t miss anything in the translation.
