Daily: Reflect on 5 accomplishments.

I might want to start this again.. Hmm..

Went running with the neighbours’ doggie AND went to get milk with Mum – double walking! WHOA!
Fulfilled my ‘exercise 3 days a week’ quota! :) YAY!
(And will hopefully do the same or even better this week!:)

I did cross some minor NAs off my list this week… Which felt great!
Hopefully I’m setting up a good system of time management which will ‘survive’ even distractions! :)

I’ve almost refiled everything recent, so it’s only the archives, and they’re on a later or someday/maybe list..

Hopefully that’s five things already! :)

1. i completed my set design drawings today…..
2. i soughted out our milk problem…..
3. i cheered up my friend by showing her a short length movie
4. i loaded all my favourite songs of Bryan Adams…...
5. i wish to detach my present life that keeps bothering me hence joined 43 things….

1. Pulled off a successful installation on the 7th floor of my campus in time for Open House.
2. Bought and made goody bags for everyone who helped out a lot with #1.
3. Found more stylish clothes.
4. Found a new, more affordable place to move to in order to save money.
5. Been going weekly to a counselor and exploring different aspects of situations.
6. Pretty much found a new internship at a bridal place!
7. Saw the Yves Saint Laurent exhibit at the de Young museum!
8. Volunteered at my school’s fashion show as a dresser.

10. Managed to finish my wish list to email those who asked for it.

9. Cleaned most of my room.
10. Finally hung out with a classmate like we had wanted to.

1. Drew a huge bunny on 36X48 paper, I then changed the bunny in tothe legs and torso of a huge giraffe. Then I added another sheet and made the giraffe’s neck and head and drew these awesome birds.
2. I kissed my boyfriend and watched TV with him and talked about human’s and our perception of light coming from above, even in visual images. I got sick and he took care of me. I threw up seven times (they don’t count as my 5 things.. or seven.. ahhh.)

3. Had a difficult talk with my partner
4. Voted for the democratic state primaries
5. Went to work and wrote down my repsonsibilities and reflected on my job.
6. Went to my meeting

You know that is alot, more than I give myself credit for. I feel as though I do nothing sometimes, heck I don’t even know how to reward myself for the good things I do.

1. Walked and visualised my niece through her route to school, which she is walking for the first time tomorrow.

2. Left the house for the first time in 2.5 weeks – hurrah! Went to GP’s and as above, went out with my niece. Walking like the frail elderly, wearing not one item of clothing that matched another, and with BAD glasses on – my niece elicited looks of deep sympathy from passing Dulwichites who thought she was taking her care-in-the-community mother out for a walk, but I cared not – I just enjoyed the sight and feel of PAVEMENT!

3. Made tentative steps towards organising thoughts on the big decisions I need to make but am avoiding.

1. Taught my niece how to play black jack and shuffle cards; am feeling faintly subversive. I have also taught her useful stuff like how to cross roads, never to quit etc but this was spontaneous and fun – and some useful social currency for secondary school!

2. Stayed on straight and narrow diet-wise for 18th day post-surgery. Full range of vits and herbs, nasty cleansing cocktail thing, big veggie juice/berry smoothie combo, protein and veg. Am making an excellent recovery.

3. Found myself a holiday and committed to taking the time and spending this money on myself; is time to invest in my wellbeing.

That’s all today..

1. Drank disgusting yet supremely healthful cleansing cocktail (wheatgrass juice, aloe vera, propolis and citricidal) for 10th day in a row in the spirit of health and healing.

2. Stayed calm in the face of maternal combativeness. Is counterproductive to my recovery and I am not engaging.

3. Tidied my room.

4. Ordered birthday present for my mum. If I manage to get Carmina Burana tickets as well will be a happy bunny.

5. Appear to be staying sane in the face of being in my own company for longer than I have ever been.

a. Celebrated my friend Amy’s birthday with her (managed to get to her city on time and all).
b. Been improved on cleaning and tidying of room!
c. Decorated room (sort of).
d. Bought a book stand (to make homework easier).
e. Read Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials.
f. Read Gene Yang’s American Born Chinese.
g. Rearranged fridge and cupboards a bit.
h. Finally organized the room to semblance of what I want it.
i. Bought the official CD for the Beijing Olympics 2008 (the Chinese one, of course).
j. Bought the Team USA soundtrack for the Olympics off iTunes.
k. Bought an iPod (sort of).
l. Bought speakers for my room!
m. Moved the router into my room so I no longer have to sit in the freezing cold foyer at night.
n. Finished a presentation and won’t have to worry about that.
o. Learned faux finishing.
p. Found a mentor (or two).
q. Did a bunch of entries on 43t.
r. Submitted a lot of devs to dA.
s. Began collaboration with dA member MF08.
t. Bought new earrings! Beautiful and dangly!
u. Went on a spree at New York & Co for needed clothing (and got compliments!).
v. Bought printer ink and a new computer mouse.
w. Finally had dinner with an acquaintance (our plans kept getting foiled every time).
x. Bought my ticket to visit home and the ‘rents.
y. Moved a lot of stuff to my external HD.
z. Finally created a lounging space with an old comforter, a fleece blanket, and some cheap cushions and stuffed animals. I’ll gradually add more cushions and pillows. :)

Whee!
