The RMV is the most miserable place on earth.

FINALLY! I HAVE A GREEN CHECK ON MY LIST (2 GREEN CHECKS ACTUALLY)!

9. Become an organ donor and 47. Renew my Driver's License and get a new picture taken for it so that people think it looks like me

I spent my day off getting various errands done, including going to the RMV to get my license renewed. The RMV is the most miserable place on earth. You can go online and renew your license once every 10 years or something like that. Unfortunately, I decided I need a new license picture (I learned that people in MA at bars are really dumb. Apparently, if a girl with long hair and no bangs cuts it short and gets bangs, she looks COMPLETELY different and therefore has a fake ID), plus I wanted to become an organ donor (#9 on the list). I dragged my sister with me (strength in numbers!) and we got there bright and early at 10 am. The line looked super long. I was expecting this; you never get out of a Massachusetts RMV in less than an hour. We sat down and eagerly watched as numbers were called and the creepiest people went to take care of things. I only had to wait about 25 minutes (not bad!) and then proceeded to window #12. The teller at window #12 was by far the most miserable man I have ever met. I made sure I was very polite and pleasant (kill them with kindness, item #72). I was done 5 minutes later with a new picture (item #47) and "organ donor" printed on my temporary license. Hooray!

Update on other items:

27. Each time I complete a task, put $25 into my savings account

After the RMV, I went to the bank with my savings passbook in hand. I knew I completed item #9 and decided to tack on $25 to the deposit I already planned on making.

71. Try to follow the "kill them with kindness" mindset, even with difficult people

See RMV experience above.
