I took the past year off from school, which was really the bigger part of the goal for me. I was planning on spending a semester driving around the country with a friend, but circumstances didn’t allow for it. Regardless, my year off from school was very relaxing and definitely gave me a new sense of perspective. Now I’m back in school feeling refreshed and ready to go!

How I did it: For some reason I had a great deal of trouble getting contacts in my eyes. My eyes are pretty sensitive and I've had kind of a phobia of touching them for a while. Over the years I've been in to the eye doctor 3 or 4 times to try to get them in, and each time I wasn't able to do it. The reflex for me to resist and blink my eye was too strong.Today I finally did it though! For the past few weeks I've been practicing… Read how I did it…
I’ve been gambling lately and its only causing problems. I go back to school next week and I don’t want to have to deal with this there. I’m going to try to go a full semester without depositing any money anywhere. Ill check in at 1 week, 1 month, etc.
Alright, I want to act on this goal so I’m going to go ahead and set a benchmark at ten playlists. Five of the lists must be >10 songs, but the other five have to be >20 songs.
