I'm doing 38 things
fell a bit short

did not finish a letter I started…
But I’m at least thinking about how often I’m in touch with them instead of just remembering once every six months and then feeling bad about it.

How I did it
It made me
secure 
How I did it: My friend lost everything :( She had the same computer as me, so I knew that it could happen any time. I asked my dad for a hard drive recommendation, and he found one on CDW.com that I ordered for $100. It's backing up as I type. Read how I did it…
It made me
happy! free!
How I did it: I tried to really think about what I was unhappy with in my life and work towards the things I thought I had power over. I was unhappy with myself for not working out regularly, not planning ahead regarding eating at work, not doing enough things that were making me happy. There was some normal winter blues, as well, but I tried to think about what I could change myself. Read how I did it…
It made me
humbled
How I did it: I looked around for a good group volunteering opportunity, sent out an evite, and watched people RSVP. Because I was asking for a greater commitment (dinner and then two hours of working), I provided all the food so people could come straight after work. Read how I did it…

skipped again once last week

I was too tired. I had something going on every night and friday morning just could not get in there….
but I went tonight and did extra. I’m going every free night this week and am going to consider prepaying for the next six months starting this next month to save a few bucks.
Doing well

Got my second assignment in on time and did well. Had to stay up late that night (because I interrupted my homework session the night before to have a cocktail) but I was off the next day so it was ok.
I did some work over the holiday weekend and cleared my schedule on my day off, so I need to focus on the assignment for class 2 on Tuesday. HAVE to finish it or I’m toast.
It’s been hard, though.
