101 in 1001: Update

As of today, Saturday March 29 2008, I have accomplished twenty one tasks on my 101 in 1001 list. At this rate (mind that this is just a rough estimate), I will accomplish about 99 things by the end of 1001 days (roughly 33 months). Quite an amazing feat -- if I manage to stay consistant with it all -- even if I don't complete every single task. Thus far, I have:


2. Buy a nice camera of my own, with my own money. Completed 9/14/07: Mom gave me the "family camera." Close enough.
3. Move to Marquette. Completed 8/23/07
12. Buy an item of clothing from a vintage clothing store or thrift shop. Completed sometime in December 2007
21. Wear less makeup for one month. Completed 10/12/07: I made it two months, and counting...
22. And be comfortable about it. Completed 9/?/07: It hasn't been a month, but I realized there's more important things than putting on makeup.
23. Get a very short hair cut. Completed 1/10/2008
24. Buy a pair of square-rimmed glasses. Completed 3/5/08
25. Drink at least three glasses of water a day for three months. Completed 11/28/07, and still counting.
29. Get an internship at a local hospital. I changed my major to history, so this is impossible now.
30. Overcome my fear of talking on the phone. Completed 8/?/07: Called my Financial Aid Advisor.
36. Participate in NaNoWriMo. Word count: 857 words, but I quit after that.
50. Buy appliances and supplies for my dorm. Completed 8/24/07: Mom helped me buy a mini-fridge and a microwave.
64. Go to the Cinema more than once a year. Saw two films in 2007 (The Nanny Diaries and I Am Legend)
65. Walk or bike to class when the weather permits for three months. Completed 11/28/07 and still going.
73. Subscribe to Smithsonian magazine. Dad suscribed in his name, but gives me the magazines.
81. Drive somewhere alone. Completed: 8/16/07 (to the library)
84. Read 52 books in 52 weeks. (45 books read from January 1, 2007 to February 1, 2008)
94. Talk to my future roommate. Completed: 8/16/07: As of 8/24/07 she's not my roommate...
95. Read something by Neil Gaiman. Completed: 8/16/07 -Endless Nights Special
96. Make a chart of my class schedules for every week, for the fall semester 2007. Completed 8/21/07
97. And for the winter semester 2008 Completed 12/28/07


And so it continues...
