Because today was the worst first day of school I have ever experienced, a incessant need to make up for it tonight has pushed me to be super productive. This includes updating my very neglected 101 blog, however updates of a few significant accomplishments will be posted.

2: Read a religious book cover to cover

I chose to read Crazy Love by Francis Chan


Despite the conversations and comments with some friends about this book not being challenging enough, and just barely brushing the surface of what we as christians should be, my personal opinion is that this book is an inspirational reminder for us to live like Jesus calls us to in the Bible. It may have been the circumstances that I was going through while reading this title, but the Holy Spirit most definitely spoke through the words of Mr. Chan to me, and shook my life, my thoughts and renewed my longing for Christ. (and because this is my blog, I strongly encourage you to read this book, it's a captivating easy read, but is full of very deep truths that even the oldest, most seasoned christian needs to be reminded of)

39: Reorganize my room

For those who have visited my bedroom in the past 4 years, you probably have noticed a SUBSTANTIAL pile of boxes and bags filled with miscellaneous objects that line the entrance of my room! I not only have minimized the clutter, but I have made enough room to put in a new desk! HURRAH for table space. AH, It feels good, so fresh!! (:

90: Get a piece of Tiffany's Jewellery

So as most of you know, this goal was short lived. After acquiring a matching Return to Tiffany: CIRCLE Toggle Necklace (not heart like in the picture) with KM around June, after only wearing it once, it was stolen when my car was broken into. Unfortunately/Ironically, it was never RETURNED. ):
boo... maybe I'll find myself a nice boyfriend who will woo me with another one.. HAHA (:

Anyway, i'll be back with more updates..
It's scary knowing that I only have a year to go!
