How I did it
How to read hemingway
It took me
7 days
It made me

How I did it: It simply took a visit to the library. My math class is so so boring, so I read snippets of The Old Man and the Sea when the teacher wasn't looking.I finished it today. I'm not sure what to think of it yet. I wasn't expecting it to be so simplistic - there are probably deep meanings I haven't thought about yet.Overall I really liked it, and I'm going to find The Sun Also Rises and try it again. =) Read how I did it…

How to understand grade 12 math before grade 12
It took me
3 years
It made me
feel smart

How I did it: In my spare time & over the summer, I looked up math, mostly on the internet. I asked my math teacher what she taught in grade 12 and went from there. I'm still going to benefit from the course, but I feel happy with a basic grounding in conics, limits, rates of change, trig identities ... wheee! 99%, here I come. Read how I did it…

donate blood regularly (read all 3 entries…)
success!

I’ve donated blood four times. Funnily, I become less comfortable with each donation. Maybe I’m just psyching myself out.

I make regular appointments, but I keep getting sick & have to cancel them! But anyway, I think that donating blood is really rewarding and not a bad way to spend your time. :)

come out of the closet (read all 4 entries…)
long-due update

A lot has changed in the past 2 years! My mother was absolutely wrong – my younger brothers took it so well, treated it as totally normal. It’s a lovely feeling.

Now I’m at university and out to most of my friends, and involved in the queer group on campus, and loving life. ... and I have a girlfriend! That’s a new level of coming out in itself – it’s one thing to talk the talk, which I’m working on, but a whole thing entirely to be publicly in a gay relationship. We walk around campus holding hands and smiling at passerby and feeling brave and wonderful.

There’s always room for improvement, so I’m not marking this goal as complete, but I’ve come a long way. :D
