Sweet!

I just re-read my to-do list from earlier this month. Here's a partial status update:

- Read a bunch of books.

I am attacking this goal with enthusiasm and thrift! I recently discovered the Used Book Superstore in Danvers and it has changed my life.

- Commit to a yoga habit! My goal is stepping it up from once a week at the YMCA to twice!

So far, so good. I've been making it to more morning classes and have been subsequently feeling fantastic.

- Find out that I passed the MTEL Communications and Literacy Skills test and then prepare to take down the English subject test.

Done, and doing! I did well on my first MTEL exams, passing both of the Communications and Literacy Skills subtests. I have since been working on a massive, homemade study sheet for the English subject exam, which I plan to take either in September or November.

- Eat ramen with plenty of Tabasco stirred in.

Not an original goal from my previous entry, true, but a noble aspiration nonetheless. I plan to attend to this matter almost immediately. Wish me luck.

Delicious, spicy luck.

I got a lot of livin' to do!

A sampling of things I want to do this summer:

- Read a bunch of books.

- Commit to a yoga habit! My goal is stepping it up from once a week at the YMCA to twice!

- Find out that I passed the MTEL Communications and Literacy Skills test and then prepare to take down the English subject test.

- Learn a little shooting.

- Take another session of Bellydance classes.

- Go to Provincetown with my mom.

- Watch as many episodes of Tales from the Crypt as I can get my hands on. Why does this series not get more recognition for being one of the greatest television shows ever? Huh? Why?

- Write more!

- Go on a glorious road trip! Jason and I have been saving up for a southbound adventure this August.

- Daydream about my sister's unborn child. Does that sound creepy? Maybe it is. Regardless, I am so excited for this baby!

- Be a better friend.

- Have fun!
