Progress

I have been working hard, and have already put a pretty good dent in my list!  To begin, I got my scuba certification!  I haven’t mentioned that yet, right?  Can you tell how excited I am?  Also, while I was away I read six books.  Yes, six books in eleven days.  That could be a little embarrassing when I think about how many hours I spent with my nose stuck in my kindle, but I’m pretty proud.  Speaking of which, has anyone seen the new kindles?!  Yikes!  I am not one to have to have the newest products, but these are pretty cool.  And only $79!  Check ‘em out. (And fun fact... the page that is displayed on the Kindles are the first page of The Paris Wife)  

For those of you wondering, I read:

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot

One Thousand White Women by Jim Fergus

The Paris Wife: A Novel by Paula McLain

When a Crocodile Eats the Sun: A Memoir of Africa by Peter Godwin

The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls

Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese

I have also been a total dork, and I have been practicing to complete my Rubiks cube.  So far I can finish two-thirds of the puzzle.  I am trying to memorize how to complete it, so I just keep doing the first two rows.  Over and over and over again.  

Oh, and I have been practicing my juggling.

My flight to New Zealand is booked!  I will be going on November 21st!  I get to celebrate Thanksgiving in New Zealand, I can’t wait.

I have also been running a lot, and I found a half marathon to enter.  On April 23rd I plan on running the Lake George half marathon, does anyone want to join me?

I also have about 4200 views on my blog!  What is going on?!  I thought that 5000 would be pretty realistic by the time I turn 25, but maybe I need to up the number.  I had no idea people wanted to read about my boring life!

I’m off to plan a quick trip to Malaysia to get my advanced scuba certification!
