Marathons: BEDSY Day 74/Try Something New Revolution Days 6, 7, 8 (Plus Weekend) (Sunday Jan. 8th, 2012)

Thinking about changing the format of this jsut a little bit. I'm thinking about, on a more regular basis, posting my Friday blogs on Sunday, encomapssing the entire weekend so I can just make one big post instead of having to post mulptiple entries over the weekend...

So, here's the first installment.

Friday was jam-packed. I barely made it through the day having gotten minimal sleep the two previous nights...but I survived. First basketball game. We won. Our girls team is now first in our league (which is no surprise, since they have been for the past four years).

On Saturday, one of my friends came over and we attempted the (previously) unattempted: watch all eight Harry Potter movies in a row. Sadly, we only made it through the sixth, leaving both parts of Deathly Hallows for another occasion. Only reason we failed is because we have to go to school tomorrow. And we're good students who have to do their homework.

And that's a thing that's happening once I finish up here.

Sorry I haven't posted about the last few days' challenges. They've been quite odd, to say the least. Friday's challenge was to order something at a restaurant that you wouldn't normally eat/order. Me, being quite boring and unadventurous, simply ordered the "special" for lunch in my cafeteria at school. Yesterday's was to seek out a new source of entertainment. Again, being my typically unadventurous self, simply vied to watch survival programs on the Discovery Channel and home improvement shows as a part of my Saturday morning regime.


Today's challenge was the most challenging so far, in the sense that I'm not sure if I can complete it: get on the first bus you see and ride it to its final destination. Once there, get off, explore, take pictures, interact with the natives, etc.

There aren't that many buses around my house, and the ones that do run only go as far as downtown...which isn't that foreign of a place. I'll figure this one out...

Adding yet another challenge to my attempt to spice up my life this year, I've decided to take part in the 50 book challenge. Pretty simple: I have to read 50 books over the span of one year. Since I'm determined to read more this year, why not set a limit on myself?


Books read: 0

Movies watched: 6 (HP 1-6)
