Yep. Sunday update for Project101.
I decided not to start too big on this one -- not to start trying to do everything at once and getting burned out within a month. So, modest progress to report for the week but I'm pretty happy with it.
+ 022 Eat breakfast every day before school for a week (5/5 days), 20 times (1/20)
+ 065 Feed someone for a year by donating more than seven million grains of rice (41,200/7,008,000)
+ 067 Watch 150 movies I've never seen before (1/150)
- Inglorious Basterds
+ 068 Watch 26 foreign language films, starting with each letter of the alphabet (1/26)
- L : Das Leben der Anderen ("The Lives of Others," German)
+ 071 Listen to 50 new musicians/bands (1/50)
- Vaya Con Dios
+ 082 Make my bed three times a week (3/3), for 50 weeks (1/50)
Right away I forgot a couple of the weekly things. Just forgot-forgot. Like the hourlong walk and Self Portrait Thursday. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to organize this list and my reminders until they're more integrated into my life. Any ideas?
Sad to say, the hardest thing on the list was making my bed in the morning. I love getting into a fresh, made-up bed but I'm always rushing about so much in the morning that I seriously have a hard time finding a few minutes to just shake the blanket out and lay it out straight. That's pretty bad.
I'm considering installing the toolbar for Free Rice to help get that number rolling along a little faster. It would be great if I could actually accomplish that twice over in the same amount of time, but I'm not sure how feasible it is.
On the bright side, I really loved The Lives of Others and Vaya Con Dios.
In other news, all of my reservations are made and paid for my trip to Morocco next month. I'm really excited... a proper holiday! Woohoo! There's a bit of confusion about whether or not Bora and I will be able to stay in the hotel together, though, since we're not married. We'll see, I guess.
Fingers crossed for me to finally have a vacation that's not hideously ruined!
