Catching up:
Spend the day at Hannah’s house and reconnect—I went to Hannah’s house, went swimming, and played with kittens. It was nice (:

Read at least two books – Although I started The World is Flat, I did not finish it yet. I did, however, read REA’s Guide to Principles of Management and Intro to Educational Psychology – so I suppose I can write this goal off :D

Take my kayak into the water – this weekend I am taking my kayak to the river – but last week some friends went tubing as I went kayaking down the creek (: I finally got to take my kayak into water!!

Find out the PIN to my PSECU account—Still haven’t done this :/

Forging ahead:
Decide on activities for our two day trip up north—We chose some activities beforehand and also adjusted our plans whenever we got there. Last weekend was pretty cool, we went to three different parks, hiked, and went out on Lyman Lake. We also got to see bear at the cabin and on the way home :)

Get a new debit card through my primary bank—I just customized my new card and it should arrive at my mailing address in 7-10 days. Wooh!

Additionally, the two CLEP’s I took today I passed, one with a 64 and one with a 67. I also ordered REA’s Marketing book and the Accounting book. Holy credit cramming summer! I am sure I will continue to forge ahead even after this month (:

All original goals complete minus the PSECU PIN! Success so far, with a few days to spare. 11 months ago

Pay off interest on federal loan – Paid it off yesterday (:

The list above is the truncated original list. Today I got my car’s oil changed and I got my insurance discounts approved. It dropped my car insurance from 669/6mo to 491. WOW! That’s basically 180 dollars every six months saved—or 360 a year. That’s like saving almost a month of pay a year (: 12 months ago

Sounds like a pretty succinct list of what I want to get done this month (: 12 months ago

Welp, I took the exam about three weeks ago and am waiting back to hear how I did on it because of the essay portion needing graded. We’ll see (: 12 months ago

After reading the Hunger Games Trilogy, I read REA’s guides for the Educational Psychology CLEP and the Principles of Management CLEP because I planned on taking those exams. The books definitely prepped me for the exams and gave an introduction into both subjects. If anyone goes to take CLEP’s, I would recommend REA’s books. Personally, though, I have decided not to scavenge up the 200$ to take the exams when the credits at my school will only count as free electives. Either way, I enjoyed reading the books (: 12 months ago

6. So glad I stuck this trilogy out—the last book of the Hunger Games was definitely by far my favorite. To anyone who has started the trilogy, whether you love it or are disappointed with it: Read on through the last book, because it definitely gets better! (: At least, that’s my opinion. The only part that I was disappointed about was the Epilogue and the last 2-3 paragraphs of the book. But oh well (: Enjoyed this read of the trilogy the most. 13 months ago

Welp, I finished Mockingjay yesterday and I’m glad I stuck the trilogy out. The last book was definitely my favorite although I was disappointed with the Epilogue, particularly the last two or three paragraphs of the trilogy. Regardless, I really enjoyed the read and would recommend anyone who starts the trilogy to also follow through and finish it. It’s definitely worth it! 13 months ago

5. Welp, finished Catching Fire last night and started Mockingjay, the third book in the trilogy. I was pretty confused up until the end, but then it was tied together nicely. Let’s see how the next book goes (: 13 months ago

19. baked cupcakes with friends (04/12)
20. finished my first year of college (5/12)
21. had my first ever cigar (5/12)
22. worked overtime for the first time (5/12) 13 months ago
