I've been keeping up with my progress, just not on the blog. But I've done two more things! And have made some other progress recently
Completed
77. Enter a photograph in a contest- I entered a picture I took in Australia to the Canon Project Imagination Contest. My submission is here. I probably won't even be a finalist, but that's okay. It was just something to say I've done it. The deadline was super close to when I found it, so I had to decide on a picture.
81. Watch every episode of Friends- I can't believe it's over! I was so sad- I became so invested in the characters. I'm 100% Monica, and I'm completely okay with that. I really want to own them on dvd. Maybe later down the road, when I have the money. Good thing I have a friend with the whole set, so whenever I need a Friends fix, I know who to call.
Progress
60. Donate 101 things to charity- I took another bag of clothes that I missed the first time I cleaned out my closet 77/101
65. 15 Books of BBC Big Read- I finally finished Wind in the Willows. It was terrible. I struggled through it, but it's over. It took way longer than it should have. I don't know what my next book will be. Maybe Pride and Prejudice? It's number 2, and I've never read it (1/15)
79. Go to 5 concerts- I went to see my future husband, Ben Rector, at the Georgia Theatre for the UGA Miracle concert. He is always such a great performer! He played everything I wanted him to: The Beat, White Dress, She Is, etc, and a new song he hasn't released yet called Forever Like That. I LOVE this song so much, and I can't wait for his new cd to come out.

3 Months In
I'm 3 months in, and I've already done so much!
In Progress: 22
Completed: 7
Progress
2. Get involved in some type of organization for Grad Students- I'm not quite sure what this is going to look like or what I am going to count. I've gone to the grad student sunday school class at my church once, but I definitely need to be more regular/intentional about going and actually get to know the people in the group, if this is what I decide to count. Also, we are trying to revive UGASCA (UGA School Counseling Association), and make it a more legitimate organization. I think that would be a great idea and would definitely count in marking this off.
37. Go to a new college football stadium (preferably SEC)- I got a ticket for the GA/Auburn game in November, which is in Auburn. I was supposed to go two different times during undergrad, both of which fell through. I'm so excited for it though. And I've heard Jordan-Hare is a beautiful (but nothing will hold a candle to Sanford)
42. Work my way through an entire cookbook- I decided to do the Prevention Healthy Favorites: Chicken Recipes, a cookbook I got for free on my Kindle. There are 48 different recipes, most of which look good. And some of my friends decided that we are going to have weekly dinners, which I can incorporate this, as well as goal #86 (Make 50 things from Pinterest). The first thing I made was the Chicken Spinach Parmesan, which was actually pretty good. I realized that I suck at cooking, so Stephen helped more than I would like to admit. But it was a success, and more progress is done! 1/48
43. Try 15 new restaurants- Senor Sol- this is a restaurant I have passed countless times, but I had never made it inside. My friend Alisha and I were craving Mexican on Sunday, and the place we wanted to go was closed, so I decided we would try it out. The salsa was a little spicy for me, and the cheese dip was super expensive ($5 for the cheapest one which was as much as my quesedilla) so I decided against it. But the food was really good. I had the chicken and vegetable quesedilla, and was even able to save half of it for lunch the next day.
The second restaurant I went to was the Olde Blind Dog Irish Pub in Atlanta. My mom was there for a conference, and I decided to meet her for dinner. We had no idea where to go, so we just pulled into a shopping center/little community called Brookhaven in Buckhead. It was a casual little place, but the food was great. My mom had a reuben and I had the chicken and vegetable pasta, which I was able to eat for dinner the next day. (I'm starting to see a trend in my food) 8/15
79. Go to 5 concerts- I went to Dierks Bentley on August 20. He came to UGA, and the concert was a lot of fun, despite not being able to see him all the time. I somehow always get stuck behind the tallest people at concerts/games/class etc. It was not the best concert ever- Luke Bryan last year was a lot more entertaining as a performer. But it was still worth it. I'm going to Ben Rector tomorrow at the Georgia Theater, which I know is going to be awesome. I love Ben, and I've been wanting to go to that venue ever since they said they were reopening it. I have a test, paper, and presentation due tomorrow, so it will be a great reward after a crazy week. And it's for charity, so that makes it even better. 1/5
80. Listen to every song on my computer- 2161/5024
81. Watch every episode of Friends- I'm on Season Nine, and I'm so sad to know that it is ending soon! As cheesy as it sounds, I have become so attached to these characters, and I'm really tempted to buy the whole series (the $120+ price tag is definitely a hinderance). 215/238
100. Save $5 for every task I complete- 35/505
