Donate Rice

035. Donate 100,000 grains of rice at Free Rice [6,000/100,000]

I felt that it was time to donate some more rice. I donated a big chunk today, to make my total 6,000. One of my goals for this year to donate a total of 40,000. Not really close yet, but its only January. I will donate some more later on this week.

Monthly Updates for November

Sorry again. I really have been neglecting my blogs. Hopefully I will have more to update tomorrow now. Anyways, here is my monthly update for November:

001. Read 50 books [2/50]: I finished another book. I guess I have been reading one book a month. But that isn't good because there are only 34 months in my challenge and I need to read 50 books. I am going to make sure to read at least 2 books this month of December.
016. Don't eat fast food more than twice a month, each month [3/34]: Accomplished month number 3. This one isn't very hard for me since I don't really have any money to spend.
018. Lose 50 pounds [8/50]: I've lost 8 pounds since the start of my challenge. Well, actually, I think I only started weighing myself in October, but I'm not exactly sure when. This actually has been surprising because I don't exercise. All I do everyday is wake up and blog, eat, and sometimes go to school. I mainly sit around and go on the computer. So I don't know why I'm losing weight, but I'm happy.
027. Take 10 one-day breaks from the Internet [3/10]: I accomplished two internet breaks in November. Hopefully I can accomplish another one this month.
034. Send 50 postcards via http://www.postcrossing.com/ [50/50]: COMPLETED! I accomplished this task on November 11th. However, this does not stop me from sending more postcards.
035. Donate 100,000 grains of rice at http://www.freerice.com/ [4,160/100,000]: I donated 2060 grains of rice in November. I hope to bring my donation up to 10,000 by the end of December.
061. Watch 26 movies starting with each letter of the alphabet [13/26]: I watched 4 movies in November. This month, I plan on making a list of movies to watch, so later on I don't have to stand around trying to figure out which one to watch.
063. Watch all 8 seasons of Charmed [5/8]: I don't normally blog about this one so I'm not sure how many I've watched in November but I think its been about 2 seasons. And I'm almost finished with season 6.
068. Watch 101 movies [6/101]: I watched 3 movies in November. I actually know that I watched more than this but since I can't exactly remember which movies, and on what dates, I'm not going to add them.
070. Watch a movie from the year I was born (1989): COMPLETED! I accomplished this goal on November 13th. Hmmm...I think that was friday the 13th too. Haha, I made sure I stayed home that day.
078. Put $5 in savings for every task completed [$30/$505]: I have been saving up this money, but just last week I finally opening up an account for it. So now, I have $30 in my bank account.
080. Earn $100 from blogging in one year [$19.49/$100] : Since this is a November update, my earnings as of November 30th is: $19.49 and earnings from November is: $6.12. I am actually only counting Adgitize earnings now. I just started writing paid posts from SocialSpark but I won't add those earnings until I get paid. So for now, I will just be updating Adgitize.
096. Reach 50 followers on this blog [27/50]: I don't update this very often either but I think I've gotten around 10 in November. So, thank you my followers!

As you can see, I've done a lot since October, but I haven't accomplished that many. I only accomplished two goals in November. Do you have a list too? I would love to hear about it. Let me know how your list is coming. Do you think I've been on track, or do you think I need to step it up a bit? Don't worry, you won't hurt my feelings. I think I need to step it up a lot. Well, til next time.

To-Do List Accomplished

..Well, most of it anyway. Today I woke up at 8am. Went to my dentist appointment at 9am. My appointment sucked. The lady kept putting that sucking thing so far down my throat I felt like I was going to choke on it. Ugh. She does not have good customer service. She was the assistant, and I have a lot of complaints. Anyways, at 10am, I went to the bookstore and picked up my book that I had on hold for me. Then, I went to the post office and dropped off my postcards. As for my list, this is what I did today:

001. I read two chapters of my book. I plan to read a couple more chapters tonight before I go to sleep.
017. I drank 3 bottles of water. And I'm still sick. Ugh..need more cough medicine.
028. I woke up at 8am for my dentist appointment.
034. Mailed my postcards today, which brings my total to 45 sent postcards.
035. I donated 2060 grains of rice. Woohoo! Much more than my goal for today.
061. I watched The Promotion. For have two famous lead characters, it didn't seem that a great movie. It was good, but not great. I still liked it though.
063. I watched Disc 3 of season 5 of Charmed.

I haven't read up on my U.S. history, but that's ok. I pretty much was able to cover everything else. I feel accomplished. Well, that's all for tonight. Good night everyone.

Free Rice Donation

I just finished donating 1250 grains of rice. It took me a little while because my vocabulary sucks! And I'm not very good at memorizing either. But it was worth it. Let's look at my progress.

035. Donate 100,000 grains of rice at http://www.freerice.com/ [2,100/100,000]

Woohoo! Over 2,000! That's good progress right?  

Challenge has begun

Day 0001
Yay! Its finally the 15th! It feels like its been months since I created this blog, and my list. But its only been a week or so. It felt like forever. Haha. Well, today, I completed a couple of goals, and worked on a few others.
Goals Completed
082. Write a letter to myself, to be opening on last day of the challenge
099. Create weekly goals and checklists
I created my weekly goal sheets and my weekly and daily progress reports. Here are some snapshots.




I wrote down each goal onto a slip of paper, and then inserted them into this jar. Everyday, when I'm bored or don't have anything else to do, I will put a paper out of the jar and try to accomplish the goal.
Goals I worked on today:
021. Take multi-vitamins everyday for one month
I took my vitamins today! :] I can't take pills, so I take the One-a-day Multivitamin Gummies. They are pretty tasty. Its just like gummy bears, its not the kind that look like they are coated in sugar, like the kids vitamins.
035. Donate 100,000 grains of rice at www.freerice.com
I donated 350 grains of rice today!

047. Visit all counties in WA
I checked off my county off the list, since I live here.
061. Watch 26 movies starting with each letter of the alphabet
Today, I watched Mamma Mia! It was a good movie. I like it because of all the songs and singing and it was entertaining. Its about a girl, Sophie, who is getting married and she wants her father to walk her down the aisle. Problem is, she doesn't know who her father is. She is able to contact 3 men from her mother's past who could possibly be her father. She invites them to her wedding, without her mother's knowledge. It gets pretty interesting. I would recommend it. View my post here.

078. Put $5 in savings for every completed task
I put $10 in my savings account today.
087. Own at least 50 piggy banks
Today, I bought 4 cute piggy banks at Goodwill. Check out this post to view more details.
091. Add 100 more playing cards to my collection
At Goodwill, I also bought 3 sets of playing cards.
092. Add 200 more DVDs to my collection
I also went to the Pawn Exchange today. And I bought 10 DVDs for $10! I love the Pawn Exchange.
096. Reach 50 followers on this blog
I have 3 followers so far. Help me with this goal, please follow me! Thank you!


All in all.
Today has been a great day and a great start to my challenge.
See you next time!
