How I did it
How to draw more
It took me
10 months
It made me
confident

How I did it: I used to be so critical about my drawings that I found myself stressed in lecture class just making a doodle on my notes. I didn't draw often enough to just let it be a doodle. I wanted it to be a masterpiece immediately, and I would not settle if it were anything but. But once I realized that I was making this a much bigger deal than it was, I just went and got a little sketch book and kept it in my purse at all times. Sometimes I do le… Read how I did it…

How to build my dvd collection
It took me
2 months
It made me
feel entertained.

How I did it: Every time my novio and I would get paid, we would make a limit, like, $25 that we were allowed to spend on movies. Having been without cable or internet for just over a year (that's what we get for being poor college students), we were already watching the same movies over and over, and then realized that instead of going out to buy the newest movies just out for $25 anyway, we could go to Walmart and buy five $5 movies that had been out… Read how I did it…

How to live life to the fullest
It took me
15 years
It made me
full.

How I did it: After uncountable tumultuous trials with my mother, I finally decided at the age of 23, that I wasn't going to live under her thumb for the rest of my life. It didn't make me happy, it wasn't helping me, and I needed to be rid of it. So I finally grew a backbone, with the tremendous help of my younger brother, Dad, and my loving boyfriend, as well as my bestie. I stood up to her, and by doing so, I learned to stand up to everyone else. I … Read how I did it…

finish college (read all 3 entries…)
Untitled 2 months ago

I am currently enrolled in my last semester of college. I’ve already applied for graduation, and everything’s just in the works. I never thought it would ever get here, it’s been so long. And now that I can see that I’ll be out by Christmas, I’m a little worried about what I can do with my degree, but too much more happy to just be done and over with it so soon. I couldn’t ask for a better Christmas present.

walk the dog more (read all 2 entries…)
Untitled 2 months ago

so, while this one was a heartfelt want to be healthy and make the dogs healthier, too, it has erupted into a full fledged destruction…of my ankle that is. just a few days ago, took the dogs out on a run, and decided to run in the grass, and actually stepped wrong (half-pavement, half-grass step) and not only fell and scraped everything up, I wrenched my ankle so damned bad that my whole foot’s swollen up three days later, still. it’s crazy, and I’m immobile, too, so it sucks a lot. I suppose that I’ll save the running for the more solid, trusting ground when I’m okay to be on it again. I might have been pushing myself farther than I usually do, but it was a complete random, awful, painful accident, and I just have to get better soon.

oh well. I just want to get off of the crutches.
