I'm doing 35 things
I walked a labyrinth set up in a Methodist church, it was based on the one at Chartes Cathedral. Interesting experience, except I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to walk the labyrinth on the way out as well or just walk out of the center since I didn’t want to bump into other people.

How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: I still have perfectionist tendencies, but I consider this goal complete because it no longer is a huge issue for me. The only way to overcome it is to stop seeing yourself as a perfectionist, otherwise you will always be one in your own eyes. I still struggle with wanting to make things "perfect" but I no longer spend so much time berating myself over it and think of myself of more of a "recovering perfectionist" Read how I did it…

Mostly I wanted to acquire a taste for tea because I’d feel dorky getting a soda if someone invited me out for coffee. I tried green tea at first and didn’t really like that, then black tea which was a little better but not by much. I then realized I didn’t want to be dealing with caffeine so I tried herbal tea and that’s what I’m sticking with.
I went to see Sinead Oct. 22nd at the Orpheum Theater in Boston, it was amazing! Not only did she perform a lot of her old songs, but my friend and I waiting around after the show and got her autograph and a picture with her!
