1 Month Down

I completed my first goal! And I realized that I completely suck at taking pictures to document my goals. But I am keeping a good record of my progress and completions. And there has been a lot of progress these past few weeks.


Completions
13. Have a picnic in the park. This didn't go exactly how I had planned it, but it was a great one! We had a family reunion of sorts and every one brought different dishes. We had barbecue, fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, green beans, tons of other vegetables and delicious desserts. Most of my cousins weren't able to make it because of the distance and jobs/colleges/weddings, but it was good to see a lot of my older relatives. 


Progress


19. Go to 10 new college campuses- While in Nashville, I drove around Vanderbilt and Lipscomb. It was way too hot to walk around, so I wasn't able to see a whole lot of Vandy. The parts I saw were gorgeous though and next time I go back, I definitely want to explore more. It reminded me of a bigger version of North Campus at UGA.


31. Go to 3 museums- Also, while I was in Nashville, I went to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. It was pretty neat- being able to see how country music has evolved over the years. I wish that they would have had more listening stations instead of mainly just showing what people wore. However, seeing the original manuscripts of songs was awesome, and I loved that they had a Taylor Swift exhibit with the outfits she wore while on her Speak Now tour.


43. Try 15 new restaurants- While at my grandparents' house in Asheville, I went to Cheddar's. It was really good! I had the Lemon Pepper Chicken with rice, green beans, and corn. In Nashville I went to McDougals Chicken and Wings with two friends who go to Vandy. It was very similar to Cane's or Zaxby's- nothing too fancy. I also went to Baja Burrito in Nashville and had the Chicken Burrito. It was similar to Barberitos, but way better in my opinion. (5/15)

47. Try every cupcake listed on the menu from Silver Lining- Salt & Lime. It tastes like a Margarita, but it was a little too salty for me.  2/30

53. Try 25 new cocktails- I tried the Georgia Peach at Allgood- Vodka, Gin, Peach Schnapps, Triple Sec, Cranberry Juice, Sprite, and Grenadine. Absolutely delicious! 1/25


72. Mail 20 letters- I wrote letters to my friends Kati, Sarah, and Stephanie working at camp, as well as my friend Anne who is hiking the AT (7/20)

80. Listen to every song on my computer- I made a lot of progress on this while driving to Asheville and then Nashville (13+ hours in a car) because the play count from my iPod syncs with the play count on my computer (1206/5054)

81. Watch every episode of Friends- (61/238)

90. Buy the book The One Hundred by Nina Garcia and own at least 50 of the items mentioned- I ordered the book on Amazon and I have 21 of the items mentioned. There are some that I really want to purchase (a Signet ring), and others that I know won't happen, at least anytime soon. I feel like this book has a lot of good ideas of things that will help me become more professional and adult.


100. Save $5 for every task I complete- I think this is going to go to my Europe trip I want to go on when I finish grad school. I know it won't make a huge difference, but I think it would still be a good place to put the money. 5/505
