3 years

How I did it: When I initiated this goal, there were several large factors all trying to control my life.  I was, for the first time in my life, isolated.  My boyfriend, my parents, and my friends were all in a different city, separated by only an hours driving.  It seemed like an immeasurable distance for a scared child without a car.  I was in love, I was miserable, my parents didn't want me to leave for him, I didn't want to stay… Read how I did it…

How to see the Dresden Dolls live
It took me
4 years
It made me

How I did it: Since I first fell in love with the Dolls and read all Amanda's blogs and rants and found every picture I could on them, I've wanted to see them live.  Unfortunately, last year I couldn't make it to their show because of my lack of transportation.  This year, however, I convinced my good friend to go see Amanda Palmer.  When she walked out on stage I was stunned to see that she was standing not 20 feet in front of me. … Read how I did it…

1. First class of the day was canceled this morning, and I got to sleep in an hour… even though I forgot to let my classmates know.

2. Finally started watching Big Bang Theory, which my friend has been bugging me to watch for a long time.

3. My presentation went well today, got an excellent grade!

4. My apartment is completely clean!

5. I’m able to talk to my husband while he’s at work. I really enjoy being able to communicate with him whenever, just in case I need to vent or to ask a question.

I stress eat.

I’ve been stressed.

I gained two pant sizes in a year.
