Ok there is the list, and here is a funny story about it. I didn't realize while writing it, and the five people that looked at it didn't realize that I had forgotten numbers 74 through 78, but it is a good thing that I had extra things written down.

OK Saving a life. I already said that I donated blood yesterday, and so it was kinda funny because the whole process took me 40 minutes start to finish. I spent 15 minutes doing pre stuff and 15 minutes post giving blood. It took them a little under 5 minutes to get the IV in me and it took me a little over 5 minutes to give a pint of blood. Apparently that is very quick. So I came to the conclusion that I needed to count my blessings that I was losing blood in a controlled way, not that I had gotten shot or anything.

OK so I decided that I am going to try and scrap book as much as I can about my next 1,001 days. Well 999 now. I will try and get a countdown thingy to put on here.....and when I am done, hopefully the list will be done, I'll have some kick-butt scrapbook pages, and I will be a better person, so till I accomplish something else. PEACE OUT!

The start date: March 23, 2010

To New Beginnings

so I have devoted to making a list of 101 things that I want to do in 1,001 days. This means that I have 2.74 years, to accomplish 101 things. Now the questions lies in will I be able to do it or not. I am willing to take this challenge head on and hopefully not crash and burn. My only reward is knowing that I set out on a mission and I accomplished it. That and I will have 101 new expieriences to add to the list of things that I have done. No one will be able to tell me that i accomplished nothing in my college years. For the next 2.74 years, I will work to cross things off one by one with the help of family, friends, classmates, schoolmates, and maybe even complete strangers. I will feel a sense of satisfaction each time I complete a task and can cross one more thing off the list. I will at the end look back at my journey with a smile on my face and a full head of memories. I will know that I started the journey of 1,001 days, 101 things.....with one solitary step. I will try to keep things updated on here as much as possible and I will try to photograph as many expieriences as possible. This way, you all can take my journey with me.....and that journey starts, just as soon as I finish my list. I am hoping that I can by the end of the week....till then....peace out girl scouts!! :)
