How I did it
How to donate to KIVA
It took me
1 day
It made me

How I did it: Went to the website and lent $25 to a woman named Safaa who owns a salon in Lebanon to support her family. One up for women breadwinners! :-) I personally hope that we get more loans related to education and health up soon. Read how I did it…

How to finish my navel project
It took me
6 months
It made me
happy

How I did it: I had gotten a classic belly piercing about a year prior to this, and decided that I wanted a triple navel piercing. So I went in and had it done, but afterwards realized that the original piercing was slightly crooked and threw off the symmetry. I decided to take it out and let it heal so that I could have it redone when it healed. I'm happy to say that it finally has and I am now symmetrical! ^_^ Read how I did it…

How to get over him
It took me
10 months
It made me
numb

How I did it: I just can't focus on moving forward with my goals unless I can forget the overwhelming pain this whole situation has caused. As of now, I just feel numb when I think about him. No emotion at all.  Some people would say this doesn't really count as "getting over" someone, but its really the best I can do for now. I'm just sick of hurting over this and am through with it. At least now I can function and focus on my life so I'm going t… Read how I did it…

Another shot 3 months ago

My friend with the truck was in town the other day and I convinced him to give me another lesson. I’m getting a lot more comfortable with shifting in the higher gears and stopping. Still having a lot of trouble with starting and getting into first gear. Oh well. That’ll just take practice. At least I’m a hell of a lot better now than I was when I first started this goal!

Placed an order with my local natural food store for a Moon Cup, and it should be here in about a week. I can’t wait to try it!

get a cat
College gets lonely 4 months ago

As soon as I move to a place that allows them, I’m definitely adopting a cat. I just love animals and become so depressed when I’m away from them for too long. As a nursing student, I don’t think I’ll be able to devote the time and one-on-one attention that a dog or young kitten needs,but I think that an adult cat might be a good start. They tend to be more self-reliant I’ve found. Thoughts? Experience anyone?
