I can't believe it's already Winter! I'm finished with my first semester of internship. The school year is halfway over and it has been flying by. The move has been a difficult adjustment, but I'm finally finding a rhythm and beginning to make new friends through The Gathering at Perimeter Church. I realized some of my goals were not updated correctly last time, and my paper records didn't line up with the blog and my word documents, but hopefully this is now correct for all goals.
Completed: 26
In Progress: 20
Completed
4. Attend a lecture on an interesting subject (one not required for school)- I went to the GSCA conference at Jekyll Island and heard several lectures on different school counseling topics. There were some that were required for my Special Education class, but a few others weren't and they were so informative. I received lots of hands-on worksheets and even an entire group counseling lesson.
34. Go to a NHL game- I went to Nashville for part of Thanksgiving Break and my friend and I went to a Predators game. This was really one of the only chances to go to a hockey game, since Atlanta lost their team to Canada, for the second time.
57. Leave a 100% tip (not at a bar)- I went to get my hair cut from a local cosmetology school, where the students cut hair. The students don't get paid for their work, but they are able to receive tips. The girl who cut my hair was really great and she spent almost an hour on it. We talked and I was able to get to know her better. Through that conversation, I could tell that being in school was financially difficult, but she knew it was necessary if she wanted to be a cosmetologist. The hair cut (straightening included) was only $10. That would have cost close to $50 at other places. I handed her a $20 and told her to have a Merry Christmas.
Progress
3. Finish Graduate School- I finished my first semester of internship, and I passed COMPS! So close to the end!
19. Go to 10 new college campuses- When I went to Nashville, I got to see Belmont. It was such a cute little campus with these gazebos and the Belmont Mansion was so pretty. We didn't go inside it, but just seeing the outside, with it all decorated for Christmas (6/10)
31. Go to 3 new museums- While in Nashville, my friend and I went to the Frist Art Museum. They had a Norman Rockwell exhibit, as well as a modern art exhibit on Black Culture. It was really interesting and fun. I forgot how much I enjoy art museums. It made me really want to go to the High more often (2/3)
53. Try 25 New Cocktails- I am terrible of keeping up with the different drinks I've tried, but I know I had a Bubblegum Martini at Hop Alley in Alpharetta. It was a martini made with vodka infused with Double Bubble Bubblegum I should have cut it with something, because it was really strong. The last time I was in Athens, I got the Pacific Cooler at Transmet. It was made with Pearl pomegranate vodka, peach schnapps, sprite and soda. Very yummy, even though it took forever for our service. While in Nashville, I went to a bar called The Flying Saucer. They only had beer, which I normally don't like, but they had a bear cocktail that was some kind of Pear Cider, mixed with something with Raspberry and peach I think, and it was really good. It was called Hummingbird Water, and even though it wasn't a typical cocktail, it still counts since it was a mixed alcohol drink. (17/25)
55. Do 100 hours of volunteer work- I volunteered with the Road to College 5K from 7 to 10am back in August. (5.5/100)
65. 15 Books of BBC Big Read- After almost a year, I finally finished Anna Karenina. That book was so ridiculous and I'm glad it's over. I'm taking a break from the list to read books that I actually want to read, but will try and pick one up in January. I'll be strategic this time though and pick a short one that I can easily breeze through (3/15)
68. Type up all my journals- I've typed up a few recently, while watching tv. It's going a lot quicker now that I'm not typing every quote or Bible verse out, only my own prayers/journals or responses to readings (12/20)
80. Listen to every song on my computer- (3801/5162)
86. Make 50 things from my Pinterest boards (crafts, food, clothes, jewelry, decorations, etc)- For a UGA game, I made Pepperoni Cheese Roll Ups and Peanut Butter Cup S'moreo Bars. Both were super easy, and delicious.
For a Christmas party, I tried to make these Salted Caramel Cookies. I had never baked with this oven in my new house, and it turns out, gas is way different from electric. The cookies baked in half the time, meaning they were burned when I checked on them. Also, the recipe said to flatten the cookies, but they actually all merged into one cookie. The cookies that were salvageable were very brittle, and when I put the glaze on them, they crumbled. I am determined to make these cookies again though, because the batter was delicious as were the crumbs I tasted with the glaze. (16/50)
100. Save $5 for every task I complete- I realized I was behind, but now I've caught up. (130/505)

End of the Semester
I survived my second semester of Grad School, and am heading home tomorrow, after stopping in PTC to visit a friend. I was hoping to be more productive during my week of freedom, but I ended up spending a lot more time with people, which is honestly more important. But here is an update, mainly so I don't lose track.
Progress
47. Try every cupcake listed on the menu from Silver Lining- The Scarlett. I've had this one before, but not since beginning the list. It is a red velvet cake, with buttercream frosting, and it is one that they have every day. My friend Danielle brought me one while we were working on a group project for our Child and Adolescents class. It was much needed during our stressful week.
I also bought a box of cupcakes for my roommates during finals week and treated myself to a Christmas Special- Chocolate Candy Cane. I also had half of the Sea Salt and Caramel one which was absolutely incredible. It honestly might be my new favorite one 8/30
69. Read at least 5 books I already own (physical copies- not on Kindle)-I read when Dreams Come True. It is written by the same people who did When God Writes Your Love Story, and yes it was as cheesy as I expected. I'm still not 100% sure if I actually liked it. It was somewhat thought provoking, so I guess that is a good thing (2/5)
72. Mail 20 letters- I sent a "Good luck on finals" note to my best friend in Oregon. I get to see her in two weeks and I can't wait! It will have been over 6 months since she left. I also sent one to the boy in Kentucky who wanted to break the world record of most Christmas cards received. Here is the story. (10/20)
79. Go to 5 concerts- I went to the cd release concert for Will Reagan and United Pursuit, who I saw for the first time in January of this year. They were awesome then because it was more of a worship service and not a performance. I did like all the music they played, but I only knew one of the songs prior, so it was hard to get into it. And I also realized how awkward he is as a person. He acted like he was trying too hard to be a performer, instead of playing music to glorify God like the last time.
80. Listen to every song on my computer- Amazon's Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals got the best of me, and I ended up downloading several new cds, all of which were awesome, but it made me listen to them, and not the ones I already had. I had to delete several of my old ones though, because I had way too many for my iPod. 2758/5019
90. Buy the book The One Hundred by Nina Garcia and own at least 50 of the items mentioned-On Black Friday I bought a pair of cowboy boots. They retailed at $80, but I ended up paying $20 for them. They aren't the fanciest ones, and I quickly discovered they have very little traction, but they still count in my book! Especially because the one other pair I've found that I like are close to $200 (22/50)

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

#38- Try Zumba & Other Progress
This week at Ramsey was Free Week, so all the group fitness classes were available to try. I decided to take Zumba to see what it was all about. My friend Danielle from my cohort went with me, and a girl I knew, Nidia, actually taught half of the class. I thought the instructors were really good, but I realized how uncoordinated I was. It was difficult for me to keep up with the movements, especially when they added arms. Also, I think I may have pulled a muscle in my calf, because I'm still sore two days later. I probably won't be buying the pass that is necessary for the classes (at least not now- I need to stop spending money) but it definitely was a good workout. It made me really want to dance again since it is all Latin inspired moves, so I might try and go to some of the Ballroom Dance classes on Sunday night, or Swing Night at Dance FX this Tuesday.
Progress
60. Donate 101 things to charity- I took two other boxes to Goodwill last week with some household items and a few other clothes that I don't wear anymore after finally getting everything (for the most part) organized in my room. 67/101
80. Listen to every song on my computer- 2030/5026
81. Watch every episode of Friends- 190/238
86. Make 50 things from my Pinterest boards (crafts, food, clothes, jewelry, decorations, etc)- I made Skinny Funfetti Cupcakes for my friend's birthday, as well as for a dinner party hosted by one of my professors. They were super easy, delicious, and they only have 110 calories each! All you do is take the Funfetti Box, pour it into a bowl, and add 12 ounces of Sprite Zero. Mix it until it's smooth, and bake for 15ish minutes at 350 degrees. The frosting is just as easy- 1 packet of instant vanilla pudding, and a container of Fat Free Cool Whip mixed together. I don't really understand how the Sprite works instead of eggs, butter, oil, etc, but it does! Diet Coke can also be used with a chocolate cake mix. And the frosting is great- you can use any flavor of instant pudding for variety. I will definitely be making these (or some variation of these) in the future. 6/50

2 More Tasks Down!
August 8, 2012 was a very productive day!
Completed
10. Do trivia at a bar/restaurant- Several years ago, I went to a trivia night for a friend of a friend's birthday. It was fun, but our group was really big, and because I didn't really know the people, they didn't trust my answers. And I've been wanting to go to another one ever since. So my friend Becca and I were talking, and did some research, and discovered that Blind Pig Tavern (a restaurant I had never been- progress on number 43!), had trivia on Wednesdays. A group of five (Baker, Merritt, Murray, Becca, and I) made up our team, which Baker dubbed 'Merica in honor of the fact that we are dominating the Olympics. There were no categories, but most were Pop Culture or Current Events. I knew several, but we only placed fourth, so no prizes. But I think everyone had a lot of fun, and hopefully we will do it another time!
76. Make a Photo Collage- I bought three collage frames two years ago with the intention of actually filing them up, and I finally did. I made one collage of my Australia pictures, and the other has random pictures with my friends. The third one is still in the works. It will be a collage of just football pictures, but I didn't develop enough, so I will have to postpone that one. And I'm going to wait to hang them up until they are all finished. But I get to cross this one off the list.
Progress
81. Watch every episode of Friends- I'm almost finished with Season Seven. 169/238
100. Save $5 for every task I complete- I just transfered $10 more to my account for Europe! 20/505

I've feel like I've been making so much progress recently! Since I have a break from Grad School for a few weeks, I have decided to be as productive as possible. A few days were taken up with packing and moving, but once I got a little more settled
Completed
1. Join ASCA (American School Counselor Association)- I had to do this for my program, but it was something that I had been putting off. Now I have access to all the information on the ASCA website, as well as liability insurance, which is the most important thing.
88. Get a Massage- After moving for three days, my back was absolutely killing me. I was really wanting to get a massage, and then the next day, the Groupon was for a Swedish Massage at the Basic Wellness Center. $29 for a $79 one-hour massage. It was wonderful! The staff was very friendly and it was such a relaxing time. She used the hot stones on my back, which made me less ticklish. I would love to get another one once I have more money.
Progress
7. Take the strengthsfinder 2.0 test- I ordered the book on Amazon along with some other things that I needed (Textbooks, etc). I'll take the test as soon as it comes!
47. Try every cupcake listed on the menu from Silver Lining- Pink Champagne. I really wanted to Peach Bellini, but they were out when I made it over there this past week. But it was still really good! It was pink champagne cake with champagne butter cream frosting and sugar crystals. It was the perfect amount of sweet without being overwhelming. 4/30
60. Donate 101 things to charity- Before moving out of my apartment, I took 50 items to the Great America's Thrift Store. I was going to go to Goodwill, but the donation center was closed. 50/101
76. Make a photo collage- I actually am going to make three! I just developed all my pictures, and hopefully will finish sometime this week.
80. Listen to every song on my computer- 1831/5044
81. Watch every episode of Friends- I finished Season Six, and am making my way through Season Seven. I've been watching them while cooking and crafting. I'm kind of embarrassed as to how much I have watched recently, especially this past weekend. But I'm on summer vacation, and I only have a week left to enjoy it! 164/238
86. Make 50 things from my Pinterest boards (crafts, food, clothes, jewelry, decorations, etc)- Here's my post for the 5 pinterest project I've done recently- 5/50

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)
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)
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

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

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)
