How I did it
How to buy a guitar
It took me
600 days
It made me
ecstatic

How I did it: On a total high after completing another year of university, I dropped by a school mate's house and she mentioned she was selling her guitar... I didn't check to see if the strings were nylon, what it was made out of, nothing - I just paid a fair price for it, accepted the thrown in stand and carrier bag and walked out with my new (to me) guitar. Fantastic. Read how I did it…

How to return my tax form
It took me
90 days
It made me
Suprised

How I did it: I decided I didn't want to pay the last minute fine.So I forced myself to wake up early one morning and fill in my tax return on line at home before work.I gathered my papers up (Invoices, bank statements, previous tax return, employers reconciliation of how much tax I'd paid through them etc) and just started plugging away. The great thing about doing it online is that there is help and guidance every step of the way.I applied discipline… Read how I did it…

How to quit Smoking
It made me
Very happy!

How I did it: I kept at it, as I've tried to give up many a time now.I didn't stop at 1 minute past midnight on the 31st of December, rather I waited until the 2 January 2009. Those couple of extra days were needed for me to to finish off my packet of cigarettes and look forward to not smoking anymore.I also found a nicotine patch that was stronger than ones I've used before, so I really don't have any cravings. It's the psychological and habitual proc… Read how I did it…

drink more water
Britta

So I forked out for a Britta water filter the other day after I lied to my therapist about having one and drinking more water. Terrible. BUT I do now have one; and I am trying to drink more water. It taste’s terrible but it’s good for me, so I persevere.

practice my Spanish (read all 3 entries…)
Untitled

On a recent trip to Barcelona I forced myself to use the little Spanish I’ve retained.

It was hard. I was shy and my pronunciation is terrible. But by the 4th day or so I was a little less intimidated and could get my point across (and understand what was being said to me).

The question now is: will I keep it up now that I’m back in London? And how?

practice my Spanish (read all 3 entries…)
Continuar Pt II

I struggled through Spanish 2.1.

The results came out at the beginning of March but I don’t know mine…yet.

I am now on Spanish 2.2 and signing up for a Spanish degree at University to start in October 2008.
