How I did it: I was lucky in that matter though. I was already going to a German Highschool and I had the chance to study in Germany. Which I used. I applied for almost 9 universities after I was done with school and I got taken to all of them, other than one, where they needed me to show up personally for an exam, which I couldn't do.I chose my university, looked for a room in a dormitory in the place, but couldn't find any. That was the worst part of… Read how I did it…
How I did it: It wasn't all too hard to learn driving, actually...I signed up to a course, where I should've taken classes about rules, first-aid etc. I didn't really go there, to be honest, but just read the book and took the exam which I have passed...After that, it was time for driving lessons...I was sitting at the passenger seat while the teacher explained what all the things are for in the car, including steering wheel etc. Lol...I was told to st… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Alright, this is the third time I paint my room. Last time I did it, it was in 2007, I guess. I had painted it with two tones of pink with a tiny wall striped with different tones of pink, white, black and gray. This time it was a little bit harder to convince my parents to get me painting my room. But with a lot of talking and dragging mom to the store to buy some paint on Saturday, I finally found myself ready to do it.I hesitated … Read how I did it…

It’s not a hard goal for me in the moment since I have worked more than half way through it. But 30 is the next step to go on.
I’ve been dieting for about 2,5 months by now, and I’ve put down 20,5 pounds so far. Lets hope that I’ll get a bit quicker with losing weight so I can look at least okay in summer? I still have tons to be done though. I weigh 210 pounds at the moment. Considering I’m not that tall, I should lose at least another 50-60 to be able to wear a bikini. And even then, it wouldn’t look the best. Gosh.
Lets diet, people!!!
When I started to write entries for 43things again, I had already lost 15 pounds. I’ve added a 5,5 pounds to it in the last 8 days. So I have 20 pounds lost!!! Now it’s time for me to move on to another goal like lose 30 pounds, or 40. Lets see how good I’ll do there.
