I'm doing 30 things
lol Inna, you described how i am perfectly. and even when i do get around to cleaning and organizing, everything is a huge mess within a day or two again! i’ve actually completed this goal at least three times, but i still don’t feel i can check it off as accomplished because my room goes right back to the way it was.

How I did it
It made me
oh so pretty! 
How I did it: i had a friend help tell me what to look for first. then i grabbed my favorite shopping buddy (my mom) and looked around for a bodice that i liked. from there i added on to that. Read how I did it…
It made me
proud
How I did it: Through the apple website i was able to download an alarm clock for my computer that will play an itunes song. It plays any song that you would like it to and you can change the song with a click of the button without having to reset the alarm. THere is an "easy awake" option which starts of super quiet and it gradually gets louder over the course of 2 minutes (you can select for it to happen quicker if you want). This is a much more plea… Read how I did it…
It made me
stressed but happy 
How I did it: I was searching for daycares to work at, and the first place that i applied to hired me. I also got a job working at the tuxedo new york renaissance faire this past summer. Read how I did it…

i did the bridges program with my moms work a few weeks ago, and it was amazing. the people i met while passing out food in the city were so polite and so happy. They were all so appreciative. I even met a couple of teens who were still in high school and were taking care of a bunch of babies that we’re theirs with the help of one girl who was about my age. I was sitting and talking with them and having so much fun playing with the kids. i can’t wait until my mom’s work does the program again!
This past semester I learned to cook from my roommate who’s father is a chef, and my other roommate who is from china! both of them have taught me some really diverse cooking skills that i never knew i could ever develop. also, i have become sort of a clean freak. i hate picking up after other people, but this year i have gotten to the point where i get so fed up with the dirtiness in the dorm that i start vacuuming and mopping and scrubbing. my mom laughs and says that she always knew i had it in me, it was just a matter of when it would bust out and shine!
