update

1. Obtain atleast a 2:2 in BSc (Hons) Marine Biology
YES this has been completed!

2. Make muffins or a fruit loaf each week, and eat for breakfast
Well, I started off with this, but then I'd go to get a muffin the next morning and they'd all be gone, as someone else had eaten them. Sooo I'm thinking it may be more of a Uni thing. Howevs, I'm still not really eating breakfast. More than I used to, but maybe only once a week.

3. Learn shorthand
I had completely forget about this!! Shiiit. I don't even know where to begin. Can you take courses?! Need to look into this!

4. Read everyday
Yeah this is going well. Although after The Bell Jar, I moved onto Wicked. Which is the book of the broadway and westend show. I absolutely LOVE the show, but the book is waaay diff. I thought it was going to be a childs book that I would get through quite quick. It's actually pretty tedious with some really strange goings on! So I havent really got into it and am only reading a little bit here and there. I've now got to the point where I want to finish it so I can start a new one so have begun to read it a little bit more. But yeah, I'm doing this challenge!

5. Plant a tree
I don't know where to do this? I thought there'd be tree planting events, which I've been to before, but can't seem to find any, and my parents don't really want me to plant a tree in the garden, so I don't know what to do!

6. Volunteer
I sent of some emails yesterday. One to Foxburrow Farm, which is a nature reserve near home. And asked if they needed any help with their open days. They do activities for children like Bushcraft, and there's a Charlotte's Web day coming up and a Peter Rabbit and friends day, which would be fun to help out at. There's also a Shreks Mud-tastic activity day. ARGH SO EXCITED!! I'm going to meet them tomorrow to talk about volunteering.

Also sent an email to the PSP Association. This is a charity to raise awareness for PSP (Progressive Supranuclear Palsy). It is a brain disease that 6 people in every 100,000 suffer from. Making there be around 4000 known sufferers in the UK. However many people are often misdiagnosed and there are estimated to be another 6000 on top of that 4000, that are having to live there lives without knowing is wrong with them. There is no treatment. It effects eye movement, swallowing, mobility, speech and balance. As it is progressive it means the disease gradually gets worse. It is so horrible as it robs people of the ability to walk, talk, feed themselves or communicate effectively with the world around them, yet they usually remain mentally alert. It all ends when the condition has got so worse that starvation occurs, and swallowing is impossible. Unfortunatley my Grampy has this disease, he can't do anything for himself and is only able to sit in his wheel chair all day. You can't even carry out a conversation with him. He now has carers that come to Nanny and Grampys house 3 times a day, as before it was Nanny taking care of him all by herself and then she broke her hip and was unable to anymore. So yes, I have emailed them about helping out at events they are holding, such as Music Days and Triathlons and things like that!

7. Own 20 skirts
I am making headway!! I will attach pics of them all I think!! But not right now, because that means taking photos and finding them, and I'd rather do other things. But I think I have about 6 left to get? Something like that. It's way easier than I thought! haha.

8. Learn to make lasagne
Still haven't done this. Maybe at Christmas or Easter. Got to save something for next year!

9. Have a piece of fruit everyday
Err...I do when I remember?! haha. I think I must do, yeah!! But have a lot of veg at home. At Uni I'll def have fruit everyday.

10. Have more of a daily routine
Um. Yeah I think I have. Although still don't go to bed so early. And then get up about 9. Would prefer to be up at 7 or 8 I think!

13. Go swimming in the sea

14. Buy an original piece of art
SO nealy did this on a day trip to Edinburgh. But I got so confused as to whether it was original or not! Because they were lino type prints, and there was like however many of the prints, and so it wasn't unique! And that's what I want really. So didn't go with it in the end.
