Because I'm half-way into my first semester, I think it's a good idea to go over those goals I posted before. So here we go- updates!
- Find fellowship/church - So I've been doing pretty good on this. So far I've checked out Pulse, InterVarsity, and AACF. I know for sure I want to continue going to Pulse, but I'm not sure about InterVarsity or AACF. As for finding a church, I have yet to check out a church on a Sunday yet. I tried to check out the church on campus (The River, I think) twice, but I over-slept both times. FAIL.
- Talk to "That Guy" - SUCCESS! Although I haven't really gotten to know him, I have had a few conversations with him and he seems like a really nice person, so far.
- Make Brian get out of his shell (Because Pang said he's shy) - I actually haven't gotten to talk to him as much as I wanted to, but he has approached me and it makes me happy. I really don't think he's shy. I guess people have different views on people. I wonder if it's right to mention names like this? Oh well.
- Talk to "Guy that reminds me of Ryan" in Bio - SUCCESS! I've talked to him and we have a mutual thing going on about sitting next to each other and a lot of small talk, though it's a really, really small thing going on. I wish I could break down the barrier like I usually do, but it's hard when I'm in class to listen and not to talk.
- Talk to "Skater Kid" in Sociology - Sophia was actually telling me about him. She told me not to talk to him. I respect her opinion a lot, so I'm staying clear of him. Anyways, let's think of a new goal. I met a new guy named Matt-Matt (He lets me call him that) and my new goal is to talk to him! New friend, yay! Also, I want to talk to the guy in class that lives in the same building as me, but I don't know his name. We say hi, but my new goal is to get to know him & his name!
- Learn how to skateboard - DONE... kind of. I learned how to go & turn! I don't really have a skateboard or anything, but I kind of know how. Anna taught me how to go, & so did Audio Drew! THAT, my friends, was an adventure I still need to blog about. SUPER fun though, really.
- Make new friends - Who would I be if I haven't made new friends by now? Anyways, goal accomplished & I'm still wanted to meet new friends! Friends, not acquaintances.
- Take bus home rather than get a ride - I've only been home one time so I can't really say I've been following this goal, but I'll try taking the bus again. Maybe I'll take it by myself one day
- Start running again - I tried. I ran once, but other than that I really haven't. I'm really going to try and start running though. Next week maybe, when I'm not as busy or stressed
- Eat healthier - Another goal I can say is working! The salad bar is my friend! I like how there's always celery & carrots- YUM! Although the ratio of what I eat to the hours I spend eating in the DC are off.... so I should work on that.
- Explore downtown - Haven't really done it yet, but I will! I am proud to say I know where Safeway & a bunch of other places are. I need to find Target!
- Webcam daily - Failed, kind of. What can I say? I still feel no need to contact high school people..... at least not enough to webcam with them. The Fellow Five? I've webcamed with Joanna & Trisha, but that's it.
- Keep in touch with friends - I need to do a better job of this. I'll call you eventually, Mel!
- Write letters - I'm still in the process of writing letters. I need to write to Nicole, Monette & Tiffany, then I can send them all out, but I'm almost done!
- STUDY - Still working on that, but I'm starting this week!
I like how the first few goals you're like SUCCESS and then the last few you're like I need to work on that. Um yeah you never called me back. It's okay, I've been so busy too that I'd probably hang up or something a few minutes after our "How are you? How's school?" questions.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, are you coming home for Halloween? If you are, I might have like a Halloween gathering with...well, probably just a couple of us. Not really big enough for a party, but festive enough for a...small, tiny party. I don't know what I'm talking about. I talk about all these plans and never get around to them. Sigh isn't that the story of our lives?
OH and another BTW: I was thinking about going out to dinner with Sam and Nicole for their birthdays, but I don't know when/if you're coming home ever. Let me know if you do! It's weird that I see Sam more than I see you now (we work together often, yay!).
I should probably have posted this on your Facebook but I'm too lazy right now. Just read your comments here.
Oh btw is there a Walmart there?
