How I did it
How to be in the same relationship for over a year
It took me
1 year
It made me

How I did it: I suppose the real determinant here is whether or not the person is right for you.  Neither of us have had any desire to break it off because we love what we have too much. Read how I did it…

How to visit France
It took me
2 weeks
It made me

How I did it: Well, I basically signed up for this school trip during which I would spend one week living with a French family and one week touring various attractions in Northwestern France.  I learned so much French by using it constantly, not to mention a ton of history from our guided tours.  It was an excellent experience.

How to get my driver's license
It took me
7 months
It made me
cool.

How I did it: Well, I got very nervous.  So I only got a 72.  (In Missouri, you need a 70 to pass.)  But, it's not a big deal.  I drive well no matter what my score was, and I have my license all the same.  I just practiced a lot. Read how I did it…

Finalizing my list of schools 2 months ago

MIT, Barnard, McGill, NYU-Poly, Penn State, Truman.
I think that’s going to be it.
I’ve written the first draft of my big essay, filled out the common app (for Barnard), started the Barnard supplement, filled out the Truman app, and started the apps for MIT and Poly. McGill and Penn State don’t have anything up yet.
I have a bunch of forms to give my counselor and teachers still. I need to write short answer responses for Barnard and MIT and polish my main essay. I also need to send score reports once I have all my apps sent out.

Get over $5000 in my Savings
Where I stand 2 months ago

$2972.34
I should reach $5000, at least, after I have a summer job next year. I’m not sure whether I’ll get a job during this school year…I’ll see how my course load feels.
