How I did it
How to learn to swing dance
It took me
3 weeks
It made me
happy~

How I did it: I did it the roundabout way, by having someone in the swing dance club at our local community college work with me (but as a female, it wasn't the best way to learn), and then I just went out dancing (a usual first step).  Local swing dancing clubs have people more than willing to help you learn, and help teach you as you dance.

How to go a week without caffeine
It took me
7 days
It made me
meh

How I did it: Basically, I just didn't allow myself anything with caffeine or any soda.  You just gotta have the initiative to go through with it.  It didn't really help me sleep better or anything, so don't do the goal just to accomplish that.  Make sure you actually have a reason to go through with this, it'll make it easier.

Music activities.

With the possibility of no drumline, I’ve just been hit really hard. And it’s made me realize, I love this. I don’t even mind the getting up at 6 for Jazz once a week, or the hours for drumline and marching band and pep band. Playing concerto’s with T-Mac makes my day, nailing a new piece is amazing.
