Just finished Life of Pi and The Alchemist.
Starting Committed by Elizabeth Gilbert, A History of God by Karen Armstrong and French Women Don’t Get Fat by Mireille Guiliano which I’m planning to finish all by the end of January before I have to get back to school. Hold me to it! :)
I am reading Life of Pi.
I will update which books I’m reading each month :)
I’m in a great city to do this, it’s about 5 miles to school and it will save me the gas! So excited for this
I am a full time student and also working full time while living in an expensive city… so this could be difficult. But as long as I can force myself to stop wasting money at coffee shops, and other pointless places my money is being thrown away, I think this is a possibility. I’m going to start biking to school(really! I am), it’s kind of a far ride but it will be a great workout and save gas money. And I’m all around cutting down on driving… I’ve put way more than necessary miles on my car and I need to put a stop to it. I just need to be more aware of where my money is going… possibly stop using my debit card so much and carry cash with me. If you have any other tips, let me know!! Good luck everyone we can do it!
This was one of my biggest goals, so it’s very exciting that I finally feel free. So so happy!
It’s gone… and it’s never coming back. Please stick around so you will be able to say this too. The day will come I promise.
Well, I have my belly button, three in each ear, my rook, and as of today my tragus! I still want to get my conch pierced but I’m just going to wait a few for that one and mark this as done… wooo I’m doing great on my goals these days :)
Okay… so I’m not fluent. But I took a class and I know the basics…which will be helpful especially since I just moved to San Diego. I may take a few more classes later, but for now I will be taking a lot of Italian classes instead. Good luck everyone!
Wooooo. I am finally happy with my body :) I still want to lose a few pounds but I have officially stopped obsessing over it.
I leave in four days—this Friday! After counting down for two years I have never been more excited!! I’ll be living in San Diego (Poway). If anyone has advice for someone new in town I’d love to hear it :)
Just finished Spanish 101 ! It was a great class & I loved learning the basics of this language. I still have a lot to go until I officially know it fluently…but it will be very helpful to me since I’m moving to San Diego soon :) You definitely won’t regret learning it!
Hey guys. I never thought I’d see the end to this..but I’m very happy to say the dark days are coming to a close. I know so many people out there have suffered with this pain for years and years…mine was just about the past three. Starting with sophomore year of high school…till right now…senior year is coming to a end. I wish I could convince you all that it will get better. Whatever the problem is, you can fix it…but it will take time. You have to change things up a bit. Move to a new city, enroll in college classes, change jobs, take dance, yoga, art, sports…whatever your interested in but get involved and surround yourself with people! People, people, people. There are some good ones out there…believe it or not. You will find people that will love you and need you and you will have the time of your life with them. I used to have so many of them but lost absolutely everyone and everything, which is one of the reasons I had been so out of it for so long. But after this long depressing journey….I met new ones. I’m not as happy as I’ve been in the past…not completely there yet but I’m not miserable either. But I will no longer in my bed crying uncontrollably because I don’t want to be alone in the world. IT’S OVER. I know some of your problems aren’t about being alone but having good people in your life will never hurt you. Hang in there guys… I know it can be unbearable but you’re gonna make it! Please let me know if anyone needs anything… :)
So I just got back from my Anthropology Class and had to present a project. Basically I did amazing. Haha I could’ve done better eye contact but I’m telling ya if you saw me before you wouldn’t have believed it. My voice used to shake the entire time and I would cut my papers as short as I could bc I’d be so nervous…but today I was so proud of myself for not even getting nervous when thinking about it not to mention while presenting. This other girl in my class gets extremely nervous to the point where she’s like shaking and her voice is trembling and I feel so bad for her, but all I can say is the more you do it the better you get :)
Although I could still lose a few pounds, I am very happy with how I’ve been eating and working out. All of my clothes fit much better & it’s so exciting…one less thing to worry about… you guys can do it just keep it up!
Well it’s November now and I graduate in May…then off to California. I’ve never looked foward to anything more in my life. I mean I am worried about a few things but I’m just going to hope it all works out. Can’t wait… prettiest place ever!
I think this is very long term bc I don’t have a clue as to when or where I would even do this. I’m not even sure how much it costs or anything. But when I do get the chance someday, I’m sure there would be nothing like it.
This is like the ultimate goal. It ties all the others together…so it’s like as soon as i can reach some of my other “things,” I’m sure I’d be much much happier. So it might take awhile to be completely happy again but I can tell it’s slowly getting better, which is all I’m asking for.
I am unbelievably ready. You have no idea. Finally, on May 25, 2008 I am graduating High School here in Ohio and moving to San Diego, California. I’d say thats a new life. Let’s hope it’s a good one this time around :)
I am awful at this. I want more pics so bad but I’ve been so busy & haven’t had too much fun lately. SOOO I’m not going to take pictures of the bad times…haha. things just need to get better then I will complete this goal. sounds easy enough, right?
