So, after two years of trying to write for the official school paper and baulking, I’ve set up my own departmental newsletter that I edit/write every month. I love doing it, and I love it when people tell me they love reading it! I’m currently looking for other people to work on it with me…I might try to write for the “Real” paper again, but I’m very happy with what I’m doing now. Does this mean this goal’s accomplished?? :|

How I did it: I realized that this is something that anyone can do every day given the opportunity. Sometime between when this was set up and now, I learned to be more sensitive to other people and what they might need to hear to feel better. I didn't need to lie because most of the time, there's a lot of good things to be said honestly. I don't do this as much as I would like to but would like to keep doing it whenever I can. I also have to stop putti… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I was and still is a horrible driver. I failed the road test twice and passed by the skin of my teeth on the third try. After my second attempt, I memorized the test route and the kind of parking I had to do and practiced the exact routine so I'd feel less nervous. Read how I did it…
This just happened inadvertently. It wasn’t so much that I left church, but that there was a social schism in church and my parents decided to leave.

I’ve landed one. I’ve yet to start, but yay!
The one I got wasn’t the one I first wanted, but I have a good feeling about it. I guess maybe I should have waited until I completed my internship, but hey, the goal was to ‘get’ a psychology internship! Wish me luck!
