I’ve been wanting to do this one for a LOONG time (my 30gig hard drive keeps running out of space!) I’ve freed up about 8 gigs by removing pics, programs, and music to my brand new external hard drive. It took a while because my old hard drive was crashing… thanks to Best Buy, I got a brand new 320 gig drive for the same price as my old 160gig drive (that was still under warrentee :-)

How I did it: I found a host in France and got in touch with her through the couchsurfing website. After coordinating when we would get there, we arrived and made a plan as to how we would get back into the apartment. I hope to someday host someone myself... it seemed like a really cool experience and we learned a lot through it. It is important to maintain communication with your host during your visit- this saves a lot of headaches.… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I signed up for a php class through ed2go. I'm sure it's a great way of learning for people who have the time to dedicate to it. I was keeping up and enjoying it until the program we were using refused to work properly on my computer.

I no longer have a desire to do the things I know are wrong. It doesn't mean I won't slip up now in again, but I know there is forgiveness because of the blood of Christ. Because I know the world is watching... I want to reflect the… Read how I did it…

I have discovered that I’m a procrastinator by nature. This is not a bad thing… as long as whatever I need to do gets done.

Progress has definitely been made in this area :-)
