How to take the 52 things challenge
It took me
1 year
It made me

How I did it: I think I made 6 initial entries detailing exactly what I got rid of, but in the end, one of my other goals (go through my junk) helped finish the goal.  I didn't keep exact track this time around, but I happen to know I got rid of a LOT more than 52 things (big things, too) so it's all good.  Some things included: books, hangers, notebooks, and lots of other stuff (that's just what came to mind right now).  Anyway, I'm gla… Read how I did it…

How to go through all my junk
It took me
2 days
It made me
glad to have it done

How I did it: I just went through everything because I knew a lot of it I didn't want anymore.  So I threw lots away, gave lots away, and saved lots.  The stuff was in 2 rooms, so I spent one day on one room and the other on the other room.  The rooms were small, in fact more like closets, so don't pass judgement on me.I want to have less stuff...be less accumulative...something like that.  It felt good both to get rid of stuff and … Read how I did it…

Took a dive trip to Bonneville Seabase with my sister last week and we did 5 dives. ONLY TWO MORE!!!!!! I doubt I’ll get it done before the holidays, but I would really love to. Too bad it was so cold and we ran out of air and they closed early otherwise we could’ve gotten two more dives in! Oh well. So close!

dive a ship or plane wreck
sort of? 5 days ago

last week I took a dive trip to bonneville seabase and they had a boat they’d sunk for exploration by divers. we checked it out, but visibility was so horrible we couldn’t see anything but a window, which we slid open and closed. I don’t think I’m going to be counting this experience as a completion of this goal though for two reasons:
1. it was a boat, not a ship
2. all I saw was the window. we couldn’t find the rest of the boat.

Whether I graduate from a university or culinary school, I will be able to mark this goal off. I just need to decide.
