Mission 101 update!
It's only been a month since I last updated but I'm trying to pay more attention and so I figured updating more often would help.
Goals completed in the past month:
5. Kiss somebody. - no further explanation required! :)
15. Give somebody a random present. - I gave Andrew a few guitar picks that I'd made/painted for him, he was very happy.
48. Try a new fruit. - I tried some mango over spring break and I'm almost positive I've never eaten it fresh before...it was yummy!
55. Hit the random button on Wikipedia and actually read the article 10 times.
56. Talk to somebody about one of those articles. - I talked to Keavy about Dinosaur, Colorado, where all the streets are named after dinosaurs.
67. Listen to 3 new songs from each of 10 artists in my iTunes. - This one was hard to quantify. I originally intended to make myself check out more music by artists I only had a couple songs or one album by. But I didn't necessarily have to have the artist in my itunes when I started this list. So I counted anybody who I at some point only had a few songs or an album or something by and I've now listened to more than that. Which means...Maroon 5, Kaiser Chiefs, Ben Folds, Cake, Decemberists, Fastball, My Morning Jacket, OK Go, Ozomatli, The Postal Service.
72. Play tennis. - I got to play over spring break with all my friends...yay!
86. Make icons using 5 tutorials. - I have no idea which ones they were, but I have a note to myself that I finished this item so I'm assuming I didn't lie about it...haha.
91. Try tea. - Iris initiated me over her spring break. To be honest, I do not like tea. Oh well.
That's nine in the past month for a total of 28/101. Considering how poorly I was doing previously, I'm pretty proud of those nine!
