How I did it
How to start a blog
It took me
6 weeks
It made me
happy

How I did it: I finally got my game together and signed up for a Wordpress account. After a month of playing around with the settings and options, I dove in head first and posted an entry. Blogging is a hobby that is very easy to maintain – this goal was more about me finding some virtual courage than it was learning the tools of the trade. Read how I did it…

How to make better use of RSS
It took me
2 days
It made me
In the loop!

How I did it: I used one single RSS Reader (NetNewsWire), and deleted all my other partially-used readers. I created folders to group similar RSS feeds together (ex. Tech, Fashion, Comics...) I created categorized clippings folders to group posts that I want to save for future reference (ex. Computer tips, Cool Websites, DIY Projects) I am getting so much out of my RSS Reader now. When I open it up, I can browse my feeds by category, and findi… Read how I did it…

SLACKER! 11 months ago

So I definitely abandoned this goal long ago…

So many things have changed since I made this goal, too… I’m living in a new city, and I’m busy with school.

I’ve found a gym buddy and will be signing up for the University gym in January… Then I plan to kick this goal back into action!

Wish me luck!

change my name (read all 3 entries…)
Just the last name, now... 11 months ago

I’ve taken a better liking to my first name since moving away to school. In the big city, my name is unique and interesting, and people have even complimented me on it.

I still want to change my last name. At this point, I am thinking something that sounds like the letter “Q”, although the spelling would be an issue:

Que
Queue (‘tail’ in french… not great)
Cue (not digging the ‘c’)

Get a gym membership
TIme to get a gym membership! 11 months ago

Since one of my other goals (re: working out 5 times a day) really isn’t happening at this point, I’m going to change two elements to make the process easier:

1. Find a friend with a similar goal (done!)
2. Get a gym membership

Since going away to school, I’ve found it difficult to get any exercise at all… my dorm room is too small to move around freely in, and my campus is downtown so it’s difficult to go for impromptu jogs.

My friend and I are going to join the U’s gym in January and start going together… we’ll be able to motivate one another, and the gym is right on campus so it won’t take a lot of effort to go.
