November.

8. Read 50 books (21/50) - in progress
I read "Song of Solomon" by Toni Morrison last week for my thesis. I liked it more than I expected to, and I also discovered the "third beer" quote I really liked from freshman year is actually from "Song of Solomon." And unliked "Mama Day," I think I can connect this one pretty strongly to my thesis.

14. Do a creative writing prompt (12/52) - in progress
I wrote about my bed in my nonfiction class the other day. We were working on creating rhythm with our prose and I chose to write about my favorite place... i.e. my bed. What can I say.

27. Follow Virginia Tech & Steelers games for a full football season - in progress
I watched Tech v. UNC, which they lost, but I missed the Tech game this past Thursday because of the Alternative Break Program lottery. And Steelers had a by last week... but they're playing the Broncos tonight for Monday Night Football, which will probably be the highlight of my day, sadly.

56. Exercise 2-3 times a week (17/143) - in progress
Accomplished for the past two weeks! In fact, I exercised quite a bit last week. The easier my weeks are with school, the more time I have to be healthier I guess. I also got my mom to lend me her yoga mat and bought a few yoga DVDs, so I can do those at home too.

62. Keep a food diary for a week, six times (2/6) - in progress
I kept one this past week, and this time I noticed I eat almost no vegetables. I really need to get better about that. I snack on fruit sometimes, and I've been drinking milk with dinner sometimes instead of soda, but I still am lacking on the veggie front.

--Till next time.
