How I did it
How to visit new york
It took me
14 days
It made me
feel alive

How I did it: I went once with a high school choir, and once with the staff of the college newspaper I work for.  The high school trip had a guide, which was alright.  You get to see the sights, but you can't pick and choose what you want to do, and you wait a lot.  Wait for the bus.  Wait to get through crazy traffic.  Wait to get in line.  Wait in line.  Wait to get into the gift shop.  Wait for the other 35 pe… Read how I did it…

How to be in an art show
It took me
3 months
It made me
surprised!

How I did it: I entered at the last possible minute - "what the heck, it's free, the worst that can happen is it all gets sent back".  I submitted five mounted photographs from my B&W film photography class.  One was titled "Subway Soundtrack", and it was a photo of an African American playing a horn outside a subway station in NYC.  It was a real pain to print, but it was worth it - it was the one they selected for the show!  :… Read how I did it…

How to fall out of love
It took me
1 year
It made me

How I did it: I finally realized that he was not the guy I'd thought he was.  After 3 years.  To my credit, he's an actor... a good one, and he can't leave his performances on the stage.  I think the only true thing he ever said to me was that he was unhappy.  I still believe that.  But the rest of the crap he fed me (and however many other girls he was stringing along simultaneously - and obliviously to each other!)

exercise regularly (read all 2 entries…)

Enrolled in a fitness course at the college… it’s not so much a class as open access to the gym, but they log all your hours and you have to spend a certain amount of time there to get an “A” for the class. An average of two visits a week gets an “A”, but I’m shooting for going 3-4 times a week. :)
