Weeks 29 - 39
Apparently, I have neglected to update to here since... um, the end of August (Week 28). Whoops! And I also missed my 9-Month Anniversary, and I didn't do my quarterly evaluation of what I've accomplished so far. Double whoops. On the upside, this made me review my weekly postings at my 101/1001 LJ to see what's happened since then. Not much, but not nothing.
Sometime during Weeks 29 through 39, I:
...saw many new-to-me films: Fight Club, RE: Afterlife, Trudell, Ponyo, Legend of the Guardians: Owls of Ga'hoole, Bolt, Let Me In, The Secret of Kells, & Megamind. Two of these (Ponyo, The Secret of Kells) counted towards my goal to watch 30 foreign films - I'm at 18/30 now.
...read Gunn's Golden Rules and The Windup Girl. (Wow. I hadn't realized how serious my not-feeling-like-reading mood was til I did this. Huh.)
...MET, AND HUGGED, TIM GUNN (at a book signing).
...began a for-fun novel that I'm sort of failing horribly now, but it's still something.
...went to my first ever wedding for my long-time friend in TX.
...kick butt in one of my classes, so I am pretty sure my GPA should improve by the end of the semester.
...randomly received more scholarship money, which is good news because fretting about money is the number one cause for all the white hairs I have now, I think.
...mostly just tried to get life on track after a Big Upset that ruined some long-term plans. It's been slow going, but it's still progress.
Additional details at weekly posts: W29, W30, W31, W32, W33 & W34, W35, W36 & W37, W38, and W39. Full 101/1001 list here.
Need to sit down and go through my list to see what's still relevant to my interests. I feel like I've been meeting just the bare minimum since I started this, which isn't what I intended at all.
