101 Goals Update - June 2009
I was originally gonna do a very short version of this and the Niagara post at the same time, but I don't think I have the stamina to do the Niagara post right now. Niagara -was- three whole days, heh. So I guess I'll expand a tiny bit more on the goals instead. And also decide on my summer timetable, to be started next week.
Goals Update - June 2009
Finished
3) go rock climbing once
We went to Rock Oasis for my birthday. I should probably go again sometime soon.
86) finish 5 DS games, including Ouendan
I beat Elebits a few days ago, so that's my 5 (Bomberman Land Touch 2, The World Ends with You, Final Fantasy Chocobo Tales, Ouendan, and Elebits). Am now playing Tactics, Luminous Arc 2, in limbo with Dokapon Journey, and will likely start Rune Factory (the first one).
More Progress
10) stay off eBay for 8 consecutive months, including browsing
I'm not sure when I started anymore, but probably mid-January. So this marks 5.5 months. Woot.
13) sell the yarn I don’t want (ex. on eBay) or donate it
After I posted my updated list a few more ppl contacted me. Didn't get a lot out, but some is still better than none.
19) knit a second halter top in mercerized cotton
The front and back are done, but the edging and the cord aren't. Waaah, so close and yet so faarrrrr.
21) knit 10 things to give to charity
I finished the 4 HP scarves, and I'm handing them over to Jon next time I see him. I admittedly don't really know what's happening to them after that.
27) finish butterfly cross-stitch
I picked it up again. It so needs to be finished so I can start an even prettier one.
52) read 2 novels by Canadian writers
Chris gave me a short one that I've started. It's not exactly a novel but it still kind of is? I'll just say it is.
66) get rid of textbooks I don’t want anymore (donating counts)
Well, I haven't actually gotten rid of any of them, but at least I've unearthed them from the basement? I'm not gonna be able to sell any of them. *sigh* Donating time I guess. Otherwise, recycling bin?
70) learn to play the Pathetique Sonata (all three movements)
I'll never have it down right, but when I get it to the point where I think I probably won't really get better, we'll consider this goal done. I'm really not a good pianist.
80) contact Bertha, Etta, and Kelvin somehow at least once every two months
I saw them two weeks ago = ) I think they wanna meet more often though...
93) go on a blind date
If Paul does the set up for me and Liz, then we're game, lol. What am I saying?!?
99) make a wish list with 50+ items on it
It's at like 44 things. (Man I feel so terrible whenever I look at it, oh well. Handy during Christmas/birthday.)
Less Progress
68) donate unwanted books from book box and bookshelf to Mississauga Library
Well...I have no idea where the box is... Did I bring this in at some point and forget??

Summer Timetable
Days
Mondays: free-for-all
Tuesdays: clean
Wednesdays: clean
Thursdays: Ravelry
Fridays: clean
Saturdays: piano
Sundays: Livejournal
Evenings
Mondays: knit
Tuesdays: cross-stitch
Wednesdays: DS or fics
Thursdays: spin
Fridays: sewing
Saturdays: free-for-all
Sundays: read or write
Other things to do: scrapbooking (can't until my room is fully cleaned so I have space), Photoshop (hopeful but unlikely also), make cards
Why so much cleaning? My room is a mess, and so is the basement. I'm finally organizing my university notes, so I might as well do the rest of the basement.
I still wanna go cherry picking but it's completely unplanned as of yet. Lainie, interested? But I'm still car-less... Is Ian perhaps free on Sunday? (I should check out the websites before I say more.)
