First day of school. Day 8

Today is my first day of my second year in college. Parking was a nightmare, as it was last year. Glad I left plenty early. My accounting class is being combined with another accounting class, so the room was FULL. Anyway, it went well. I knew two of the students in the "other" class, from Stadium. Found out that I only have to go to class Monday through Thursday! So happy about that.

Today's goals:

• Do intro to self discussion forums [x]
• Start working on this week's assignments [x]
• Stay under calorie limit [x]

I ordered the photobook I was making, today. Check it out?

What a week! Day 7

Yesterday was my "fun" day. Then plan was to stop at a friend's house and have an Autumn brunch, before we (my mom, auntie, and I) headed to the fair grounds to buy scones.. but said friend was at the fair instead of home. Oh the irony huh? Anyway, we went and got our scones. We were out the whole day, except for less than two hours for dinner. After dinner we went to Chamber's Bay and walked. My legs were already sore, but now they are more so.

Anyway, we (my mom and I) are going to try again for our Autumn brunch, though it will not have the same effect.

This morning I took a few scavenger hunt pictures, so ever so slowly I am making progress.. but I do have the whole season.

• Take chapter one quiz [x]
• Stay under calorie limit [x]

 Update:

This morning I went to my grandma's to help wash her car and trim some bushes. I finished reading my chapter, and took the quiz.. 100% Oh yeah! Anyway, I also walked to Grocery Outlet and bought my mom two birthday presents. :) Her birthday is still more than a month away (it's on Halloween), but yesterday she found this triple timer that she kinda sorta wanted, so I had to go get it! I was also going to get her a new pie server (since hers broke a while back), until I found a pie pan, cover, and server for a dollar more (which was $3 less than the timer.. odd huh?). So I'm all giddy.  

So blackberry picking did not happen, due to circumstances out of my control. I also did not get to editing. My friend needed me to come over (she had a crappy day). 

I had to do a little last minute work out to stay under my calorie limit (mom gave me too much ice cream), but I managed.

Day 2

Yesterday I was able to finish everything that I wanted to do. WooHoo for that. Yesterday one of my goals was to make a "to do" list for the week, so here is the list I came up with:

• Go to Shanice’s []
• Make TV schedule [x]
• Organize storage? []
• Clean small room []
• Organize documents []
• Get some new music []
• Clear stairs []
• Finish photobook before Friday []

As you can see, I finished a few on that list as well!

I think at week's end a few of these will have to move to the short term goals, because I just don't know if I will have time this week, but they are written down so I know I have to do them.

What is this about? Day 1

I was inspired by a friend to start setting daily goals for myself. I also want to acknowledge my long term goals. I always seem to start things but never really stay with it. This is something that I really need to work on, and thus the inspiration part of this blog.
