43. Try 15 new restaurants- I met up with a friend in Buckhead over Christmas and ate at this Tapas restaurant called Eclipse de Luna. Everything I tried was really good, especially the zucchini and shrimp. 13/15
53. Try 25 new cocktails- I had a Blueberry Mojito, at Eclipse de Luna, and it was so good. I have no idea what all was in it, but it was wonderful (5/25)
65. 15 Books of BBC Big Read- I finished Pride and Prejudice over the break, and am now reading Anna Karenina. A friend of mine who doesn't like reading is actually reading it voluntarily, and said it was good, so I decided I would read as well. I'm about 450 pages in, but it has 1140, so I still have quite a bit. I heard the movie was wonderful, and it will be playing at the movie theater at school in mid-February, so I'm hoping to finished by then. (2/15)
70. Pick an author and read everything he/she has written- Also over the break, I read Fly Away Home by Jennifer Weiner. It was so good! I really like the way she writes, and I'm excited to be able to read more of her. I'll use her as a break from the classics for goal 65. 2/12
72. Mail 20 letters- I sent a thank you note to my friend Nick's parents after letting me crash at their house last minute in Atlanta. And I sent one with a package to my best friend who just moved to Orlando to begin her job at Disney (12/20)

50 Days in...
And I still have only completed one goal. But I'm still trucking along
Progress
47. Try every cupcake listed on the menu from Silver Lining- Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana- It was one of their specialty cupcakes and I got it after I finished my first semester of Grad School. It was Banana Cake with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting with Reese's baked in as well as sprinkled on top. It wasn't too banana-y but I think it had a little too much peanut butter. I probably wouldn't get it again, but it was a good one nonetheless. 3/30
70. Pick an author and read everything he/she has written- I was going to pick someone who was dead, so they wouldn't be able to write anymore, but I decided that I wanted to do a Chick Lit author instead, some light and fluffy to counter the classics I'm reading for the BBC Big Read. There were several options (Jodi Picoult, Jane Green, etc) that I hadn't read before, but I wanted to pick someone who had a reasonable number, and most of which I hadn't read. I settled on Jennifer Weiner. She has ten (for now), one of which I realized I had already read after starting it: The Guy Not Taken. It was a collection of short stories, and I think there were a few that I hadn't read prior. But I like the way she writes- she's not as predicable as some writers, but she's also not difficult or hard to follow. I'm excited to read a few more of her's before classes start back. 1/10
72. Mail 20 letters- I wrote a thank you note to my friend's mom whose house I stayed at while in Nashville for the Fourth of July (8/20)
80. Listen to every song on my computer- Slowly but surely. I'm made a bunch of different playlists of artists and genres and deleting songs from them after I listen to them so I can have more of a variety without risking listening to the same few songs over and over (1404/5055)
81. Watch every episode of Friends- Friends kept me sane through my summer classes. But it also made tasks take infinitely longer because I would end up watching an entire disk during my study break instead of just one episode. But I'm on Season Five. My goal is to finish the series before classes start back up in August, but I don't think that is realistic, given all the other things I hope to do. Plus I get to keep them at least until September when my friend comes back to Athens, and I'm sure even longer if I needed. 114/238
