How I did it
It made me
travel excited! 
How I did it: It had been on my list since this summer, when my fiance and I were discussing honeymoon options. We thought we were going on a cruise or to Jamaica, so I said it's time for me to get my passport! We actually decided this week that we are going to Mackinac Island in Michigan instead, but I'm sure we'll at least go to Canada in the next year. I finally gathered my birth certificate, photocopies of my id, the passport application, and pictu… Read how I did it…
It made me
Happy!
How I did it: I am a huge Harry Potter fan, and I was in no hurry to get into the Twilight mania. But, after the first movie was such a hit and I started seeing trailers for New Moon, I was intrigued and I wanted to know what it was all about. I felt that this is such an important part of our culture now that I should be a part of it. Same with the Harry Potter phenomenon, I couldn't NOT read it! After several friends also recommended that I read it, I… Read how I did it…

Once I realized that, I decided that I could check this goal off my list! Read how I did it…

Right now at the dorm my rooms gets messy, but its beginning to be only clothes and schools papers that get in the way. My room is very small, but everything has its place and once it gets put away, my room is normal again. One thing I do need to do however is finish with the newspapers that mom gave me. I can go through them at my leisure, which is not often so they do pile up. Since they are temporary, the only way I can keep them organized and out of the way is is a shopping bag. The rest of the papers I brought from home to organize are for the scrapbook. Now that they are sorted into a scrapbook pile, I need to separate them by year, track down stuff from the rest of each year, then purge by deciding what I actually want to go in my book.
