How I did it
How to go to the movies on my own
It took me
1 day
It made me
Blissfully happy!

How I did it: As no one in the flat or any of my other friends wanted to see Bright Star, I took it upon myself to go and see it on my lonesome.A totally worthwhile and totally different experience!There was no cinema munchies to distract me (so no toilet break!), no friends to make comments, no one to hide my tears (of which there were many) from and no one to give me a strange look when I knew the poetry of Keats they recited in the film.Utterly blis… Read how I did it…

How to leave a note in a library book
It took me
1 day
It made me
Smile :]

How I did it: I wrote a little note on a post it and stuck it in the book I was taking back to the library.I picked a book that I'd loved (it was about Lord Byron, who I absolutely adore) and left a little note to the next reader.I hope that the next person who picks up the book will smile when they see it. Read how I did it…

How to find a job in Edinburgh
It took me
3 weeks
It made me
Relieved!

How I did it: I basically just applied and applied and applied. I had my mum helping me out with my CV and giving me advice about how to approach prospective employers.I applied online for Vue cinema, got an interview and got the job. It was a new experience for me, because the other two jobs I had didn't require interviews, I was just given a couple of days to try it out. I was really nervous but it was fine.The waiting for the call was the worst part… Read how I did it…

Make the effort to write every day (read all 6 entries…)
So 1 day ago

I sort of gave up on NaNo and just went back to scribbling every day. I’m going to count all that up, add it onto my currently pathetic total and then see where we are.
Divide up the remainder of the numbers by nine and blast it everyday.
I’m full of ideas at the moment and in a good two hour spell, I’ve been known to throw out a good three thousand words so fingers crossed that works out for me.
