How I did it
How to learn how to swim
It took me
7 weeks
It made me

How I did it: I believed in myself, made sure to let the water take me, and of course, dedicated my session to learning how to swim.  My instructors were pretty awesome so that significantly helped my sessions.  I made it fun for myself from beginning to end.  Especially when it was a move that I kept adding steps to make it easier to perform when I finally got it.  Positivity and enjoyment of learning significantly helped me learn … Read how I did it…

How to run a ten minute mile
It took me
2 weeks
It made me
feel overjoyed.

How I did it: I timed myself every time I ran. I had my ipod and used the stopwatch on it which helped.  Then I kept going faster.  I also realized I was Jogging not running until a friend suggested to run as fast I can (the mile) without stopping.  Once I got that advice, I ran so fast and worked it!  Read how I did it…

How to graduate from college
It took me
4 years
It made me
Happy.

How I did it: I had tunnel vision. I was the first in my family to receive a college diploma so I didn't want to mess up and disappoint them.  I studied my behind off, read, and made sure I completed my degree.  This was really important to me.  Read how I did it…

Finish watching the Alias series
Season 1 1 day ago

I watched it at the beginning of 2008 and I’m up to season 2. Jennifer Garner was so believable in this show that I just have to complete the series!

Bradley Cooper is in this too (who I love!) so it’s worth it to go all the way with another J.J. Abrams show; not to mention I’ll be catching up with Lost Season 5 as well.

Lots of things to do next year!

Run a half-marathon
2010 5 days ago

This is a little crazy but I’m committed to training for a half-marathon next year. Coupled with possible acceptances and/or rejections from schools, vacations, and jobs, I want this to be the common thread that will hold me together. The training and dedication it takes to do this really is all Mental. Once 2010 starts, I’m there!

show compassion
this one's hard 5 days ago

I find it hard to have compassion for those that keep making the same mistakes over and over again. I know we are human and perfectly imperfect but seriously? Again? and Again?

Definition: Deep awareness of the suffering of another coupled with the wish to relieve it.

Do I even have compassion for myself? Hmm..I’ll chew on that for a bit.
