I don’t remember when or where I read this next piece of information, but it stuck in my mind so it must have some signifigance. In Italy, it’s a (dying) tradition to give half of your strawberry to your spouse at your wedding; the strawberry represents your heart. I don’t have a spouse and I don’t see myself acquiring one in the near future..but never say never, right? Until then, I’ve always wanted to visit Italy and now I have a specific reason to go…to share a half of my strawberry with a deserving person. By deserving person, I mean anyone that I see that shows an act of kindness..because kindness should never go unrewarded. It most likely won’t be an incredible event in this person’s life, and that’s okay, but it will be in mine.

How I did it: 3 Day Hump: this is one of my rules for curing any addiction; if I can stay away from it for 3 (sometimes, extremely tough) days then I can continue to keep it away. the WATER ONLY water bottle: I was issued a basic, 1 liter water bottle for my swim practices but I carry it everywhereeee. Literally. From my night stand when I wake up in the morning to my classes to study groups to lunch with friends to the store to sho… Read how I did it…
i finally finished it. haha, 9 pages long!
too bad my teacher forgot to ask to collect it…and when he did, he said he wasn’t really going to look at them. oh well. still proud of myself.
I want to be more conservative with water and I think entirely too much when I’m taking a shower; sometimes that doesn’t lead to good things..like making life decisions, haha. However- I have hair down to my back and i’m a swimmer so shaving is a must…yikes. I guess we shall see!
Day 1 – 17 min…ouch. gotta do better.
