How I did it
It made me
more educated 
How I did it: I started this a while ago, and then I stopped when I moved across the country. Picking it back up, I had to review all the previous lessons to make sure I remembered everything - that was really helpful, and cemented everything I'd learned. Of course, all of this will come to nothing if I don't continue nurturing my French knowledge... so I'm onto Fluenz French 2 now. Read how I did it…
It made me
ecstatic
How I did it: I looked up thesca.org and found bunches of amazing opportunities. I applied for all the ones that I liked, interviewed with multiple positions, and eventually decided to hang out in Appalachia for six months. Sweet. Read how I did it…
It made me
Accomplished
How I did it: I needed to move to NC from CO, so I had to discard quite a bit. I left my bed, a microwave, and a lot of various other home items at the apartment I'd be living in, then I went and visited friends (two carloads) in a bigger town to organize where I could also give things away. I gave away a few boxes of clothing and books, and a friend is working on selling some of my old outdoor gear (we worked up a trade, he sells it and he gets a cut)… Read how I did it…

Finished! Which means I have only two more lessons to complete before this goal is done. Both these lessons had vocab, grammar, and 38 had a little bit more pronunciation help. As my pronunciation could definitely still use help at this point, that was very welcome.
I’m excited that I’m going to finish tomorrow, my goal finish date! Yay!
Lesson 26
1 day ago
Lesson 26 was restaurant stuff – smoking and nonsmoking, making a reservation, etc. Not too much new material. I’m not in the mood at all for french today, but I’m going to push through another lesson later – lesson 27, renting a car.
