Employed :)

24. Get a job - accomplished (!)

So I had an interview with a daily newspaper in Carlisle, Pa., last Thursday. And then they offered me the job this past Wednesday :) So, pending a drug test, I am hired! It's a copy editing and page layout position. I work funny hours because the paper publishes in the morning, but it's exactly what I wanted to do and I am pumped.

51. Furnish my apartment solely through thrift stores and giveaways - in progress

I bought a couch yesterday, at a yard sale in Broadway. It's a baller couch -- very comfortable, a good price. So in the case I don't get my mattress right away, I can just sleep on my wonderful new couch. Right now it's being stored in my friend's garage, but I can go visit it whenever I'd like, which is nice.

56. Exercise 2-3 times a week (27/143) - in progress

Success for the week. I ran / walked intervals on Monday and Saturday, and I think I may have walked home twice? Maybe only once. My far-away, eventually-I'll-get-there goal is to be able to run a 5K, so I've been trying to run a few minutes, walk a few minutes, etc. We'll see how long it takes before I injure myself.

97. Add a new thing April 19, 2010:

My second "fill in the blank" is tomorrow, the 19th, so here's what I've decided for #97: the journaling prompt Web site I use has a prompt for 365 days, and they're split into Sunday, Monday, etc. So I'd like to do one a day, in order, for a year. Just make it a part of my morning, and not skip ones that don't strike me immediately. I think it would be really interesting to begin during my first year of work, and then to have to all in one place to look at later. I think I'd like to do it by hand too, rather than on the computer. So I'm looking at a June 1st start date, and we'll see.

-- Till next time.
