FINALLY finished Atlas Shrugged. Now I’m beginning The Odessey and The Inferno for school, plus I’ll probably start The Poisonwood Bible on the side…

How I did it: I went to running camp, and talked to a group of guys throughout the week. At the end of the week we had a dance, and the guy I danced with most of the night kissed me to the last song, "Stairway to Heaven". =] Read how I did it…
How I did it: I put my journal next to my bed and simply wrote a bulleted list every night before I went to sleep. Usually it was pretty easy to think of things, which was a good sign! I tried not to include any that had something to do with food, because I need to find other things besides food to make me happy. Read how I did it…
How I did it: There was a blood drive at my local fire station. I made an appointment, then went! Unfortunately, I fainted when I got home. Too much moving around too soon. Lesson: eat a lot before you go and take it easy, even if you feel fine. Read how I did it…

I took my 5-hour pre-licensing course finally, so all that’s left to do is practice parallel parking, learn to do a three-point turn, practice driving in the city where I’ll take my road test, and schedule it!
