Twelve days till graduation?

8. Read 50 books (33/50) - in progress

I just finished "Wild Trees" by Richard Preston. It was the book recommended to me by a ranger we worked with in the Redwoods in March. Some of it was very interesting, but I don't think it was terribly well-written or well-organized. It followed a handful of people, and it got confusing sometimes to remember who was who and what I'd previously learned about them. I also think, though, that I was expecting something different from the start. I'm still looking for a book that tells me about the Redwoods, how the National Park was created, and a bit about the local opinion.

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

My friend Andrea has decided she won't need her dresser once she moves home, and has graciously offered to me for the low low price of free :) So I'm up to a couch, my chair from my Grandma, a folding bookcase, a dresser and two lamps. Probably not enough to live on, per se, but I'm hoping I can somehow get my desk and my big bookcase (and maybe my small bookcase too) from home sometime soon after I move.

56. Exercise 2-3 times a week (28/143) - in progress

I had coffee with a friend Tuesday at Greenberry's, and I walked from Sunchase. I also walked home Tuesday. Then Wednesday I did yoga for the first time in a couple months, and I was sore-city the next day.

-- Till next time.
