Woohoo! Happy New Year! I am very happy that 2006 is over, it has been the worst year I have ever had.
At any rate I woke up before ten am successfully, even after being up until 3. I also was able to read the random article on wikipedia, but I had to bypass the first result because there was only one sentence on it (it was a stub). The second subject was how the United States participated in the Olympics and how many medals they earned. Needless to say, I don't remember what the first was about.
Nascent was the new word of the day and it means to come into being.
With the new year came a beautiful day, full of sunshine but still snowless. At any rate, I managed to go stargazing around six. I was supposed to pay attention to the graceful Gassendi standing at the north edge of Mare Humorum on the moon. Unfortunately I own no set of binoculars or a telescope so I just stared blankly at the moon for ten minutes. I also had the opportunity to look at the asteroid Iris in the constellation of Aries, but I don't know which that is :-o. Horrible, I know. I hope to change that through the next 99 stargazing opportunities.
I got my first comment! And in it I was told that I convinced her to sign the ONE pledge! Only 14 more to go!
I spoke with a foreign exchange student from Spain (I met him when I was a freshman) today over msnim. It was kind of difficult speaking Spanish again... I did take four years of Spanish (8-11th grades) but thinking quickly enough to speak well has become difficult since I spoke it last (in May). But I've been told it's like learning to ride a bicycle: once you learn, you never forget. Hopefully that's the case.
Day one has come to a close and I am very impressed already. I am very excited with the outcome of this project!
Stay classy, fellow bloggers.
About My Project
The Mission:
Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.
The Criteria:
Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on your part).
Why 1001 Days?
Many people have created lists in the past - frequently simple goals such as new year's resolutions. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organising and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.
Website Info:
This website is simple to navigate around. To view my 101 Goals list, click here. When I complete a task in full or in part (such as visiting one state instead of 50 as a whole), I will make a new post. The posts can be viewed by clicking on the task/book/movie/state. I will describe in detail how and when the task was completed as well as throw in some comments about its difficulty or lack thereof.
