3 months, progress

I haven't been intentionally neglecting my 101 list, it just seemed to fall by the wayside as life got really busy these past few months.  Looking back though, I've managed to accomplish a lot without even realizing it.

9. Plan for/look into going back to Athens for a semester or two.
*Athens has sort of been my fall-back plan for not finding a job after graduation, but the more I think about it, the more I lean in that direction.  Fear has been the only thing really keeping me from pursuing the idea, and that isn't a good enough reason.

12. Learn manual photography.
*Taking the darkroom class this semester has changed the way I approach a lot of things, not just my photography.  There is something so entirely different about the film process that I'm not trying to meld that feeling with how I work digitally.

19. Make a quilt.
*Well, the quilt top is finished at least. Hopefully the actual quilting will occur sometime soon.

24. Organize/reduce my yarn stash.
*Organization occurs in fits with me, and one day I tackled all of the bookcases and storage bins, so now all the books, fabric, and yarn have been sorted through and are in order.

27. Help CFB with her knitting group idea.

30. Make something with cables.
*The Bella Mittens, inspired by Twilight, were the perfect motivation for me to tackle my fear of cables. 

44. Bake my own bread regularly.
*Baking has turned into my Sunday afternoon tradition. After a morning at church in Fuquay, it is the perfect way to end a weekend.

47. Roast a whole chicken.
*I did not enjoy this experience. At all.
Although I'm more comfortable with the process now, it just doesn't make sense for me to roast a chicken regularly - I can't eat that much in one week, and we don't have the freezer space to accomodate storage.

57. Keep my desk organized - use it as a study/work space.
*fairly self explanatory

58. Organize my external harddrive - photos in chronological order, pare down music & photo files, school stuff in one place.

59. Exercise more regularly - swim, walk, yoga, etc
*being required to take two more pe classes in order to graduate means I'm actually doing this

80. Visit the NC mountains.
*spent the last few days of my spring break in Asheville, but I'll definitely be exploring again before the list expires.

81. Do something fun for last spring break of undergrad (March 2009).
see above. and here.

93. Fix up my resume, 95. Create a list of references for jobs/grad school.
*applying for jobs is stressful. but at least now my resume is ready to go.
