As I've mentioned before, I made another list of things I want to accomplish before my next birthday. This one was hard for me while I was writing it but lately I've been thinking of so many things I could've added. I put the finished list on the fridge in hopes that I would look at it everyday and remind myself not to slack off. While reading it over I've realized how many things need to be made: 1) learn how to embroider; 16) make a summer hat; 21) bake a dessert/pastry from scratch; and so on. Oh, and then I want to crochet everything. But I really think this is a reasonable list and I'm excited to calm down in the excitement of summer and starting a new job to get started on my list. I also added a couple things that will really put me outside of my social comfort zone- 8) join a social group of sorts; 10) volunteer at an animal shelter. But I have faith in myself!
A few days ago I finished reading my fifth book of the summer (only fifteen more to go). I was really lagging on that last book but I'm already hooked into this new one so I think I'll fly through these next two. I feel so silly but I really can't wait to read twenty books by the end of August.
And, I'm proud to say, I've already crossed one thing off my list- 14)
make a stop-motion movie [I've actually made
two!]. I'm super excited to sharpen my skills and make my little movies better and possibly add some music.
Nineteen left to go and eleven and a half more months!
