Biting is excellent. It's like kissing. Only there's a winner.

How I did it
How to study for the GRE
It took me
2 weeks
It made me

How I did it: I did have two books and the power prep software. I made it mostly through one book (the kaplan study guide), but I mostly didn't study. I did the two practice tests that were park of the power prep software the two days before my test.If I had it to do over again I would (1) take one practice test, (2) review all that basic math I forgot in the past 7 years, (3) memorize the most common GRE vocab words, and (4) take the second practice t… Read how I did it…

How to watch all of Buffy
It took me
2 months
It made me
love Willow

How I did it: I had long been told that Buffy was a series I'd like. I generally stray away from "popular" things because I have this obsession with being unique (it's childish and stupid but I try to fight it).Anyway, I broke my knee in late November 2008 and was basically bed-ridden until January 2009. I was in too much pain/doped up/uncomfortable to read or knit (my usual hobbies) so I decided to watch lots of tv/movies on my laptop. It was the perf… Read how I did it…

How to organize, organize, organize
It took me
7 months
It made me
organized

How I did it: A lot of organizing my apartment took planning - what goes where and what have you.Another battle is with my super unorganized boyfriend. He loves to have piles of stuff (which I guess is a valid organizing system) but never knows where anything is...and they're a bit of an eyesore. We got him a free filing cabinet from craigslist and are in the process of organizing him piles into folders and putting them in there.The rest of the apartme… Read how I did it…

declutter 15 minutes a day
Lifestyle change?

I like to do things in big chunks. I’m not very motivated to do things when I can’t see the end. However, being super busy leads to everything getting too cluttered. I’m going to try out decluttering for 15 minutes a day (I haven’t decided if I should do so when I get home from work or before work) and see if it keeps my house cleaner and me happier.

Run 5k without stopping (read all 2 entries…)
First 5K Race

I ran my first 5K. Well, I did another 5k about 6 years ago (haha about when my profile picture was taken), but it was real rough and I’m not counting it because I ended not running the whole time..

This time I did run the whole time without stopping. I finished in under 30 minutes. 29:28.4 to be exact. 443rd out of 1,308 runners. I was very pleased.

knit socks (read all 2 entries…)
First pair of socks.

I’ve caught the bug, I’m working on my 2nd pair now.

I love my first pair. I live somewhere too warm for socks generally but I’ve worn them out before peaking out of my combat boots. I mostly wear them around the house and I wore them on the airplane ride home. I love socks in general but I especially love these because I made them. <3
