Quickie update.
1. Finish applying to SCAD.
I put a halt on this until I'm more sure of being able to get something more out of this than another sheet of paper. A total educational debt of about 4 new cars is a bit daunting when I look at it that way. I sent out e-mails and the idea of becoming a professor after getting a masters is looking more and more promising to me. Not as much to my parents, but they didn't want me to get into radio either.
11. Send art cards to at least 10 friends.
I have 8 people interested in getting cards and hope to get them out before the end of this month. I'm missing two addresses. I'm a little irritated that no one really asked for anything specific and I'm trying to not send art to people they wouldn't enjoy. I think that it's a good idea, but when I do it again (which I will do) I'm going to make sure that there are some guidelines for those interested.
48. Brush teeth twice daily.
Yesterday was actually the first day I can remember brushing both in the morning and at night. Now if I can do that for three more weeks so it becomes habit and throw flossing in there it'd be great. It did stink to wake up with a mouth full of goo in the morning though. The unfortunate side effect to being a mouth-breather.
51. Have a fruit daily.
*Almost* up to daily. It's easier to do this during the week when I bring food to work and almost always have a V8 fusion with me. They may be a bit expensive for my budget but still, it's a whole serving and a half of fruits and veggies and that's too good to pass up.
52. Study/practice bellydancing again.
I think tonight will be my fourth class since starting again. I'm only one of three students, and like normal, the youngest one there. It's going a little slowly and I'm really starting to agree with the whole idea that a mirror would help me see what I'm doing and improve.
53. Finish tribal bellydancing sash.
Couple weeks ago I actually started assembling the dangly parts (how mature does that phrasing sound?). I stopped when I realized I wanted more of this one bead and couldn't find it! Half the beads I was using aren't being sold where I was looking anymore. Hopefully I get to work on it more this week.
64. Create Heroes fanfic livejournal.
I created it. I have yet to flush out the character in full before I throw up some old posts and current ones.
82. Learn how to greet people/say farewell in 10 different languages.
I started using LiveMocha again. Now if only I could have more time to use it.
88. Give away/donate clothing yearly.
I finally went through my closet and removed anything that didn't fit/I just don't wear. I let my cousin raid what I thought she'd like/what would fit her, though she didn't take much and I still have a decent pile of clothing to donate. Any opinions on donating vs selling to a secondhand store?
92. Gank part of mom’s garden for flowers and tend it (this year).
I let my mother know of the plans I have to do this this year and grow some of the flowers we used to like cosmos and zinniahs, but I've forgotten what else we used to grow. Anyone have ideas for flower seeds that survive planting and don't need to be brought up in a greenhouse environment beforehand?
95. Go with mother to Papa’s grave.
We will be burying my grandfather in the next couple weeks.
That's about it for now. I hope I haven't rambled too much in everyone's friend's list. Hope the spring weather- transition is back on track for everyone like it is here.
