Baby steps lead to progress!

This list will be the death of me. I'm DETERMINED to complete it; I just also have to remember that baby steps are better than nothing!

8. Send a letter or card via snail mail to 5 friends I don't talk to nearly as often as I should (1/5)

Today I was sitting at work and decided to write out a card and send to a friend that I don't get to talk to/see a whole lot. Everyone loves getting mail, especially when it isn't a stack of bills. I didn't realize it at the time but I was also starting another one of the items on my list.

10. Get through 50 movies on my Netflix queue (2/50)

OK, I'm not good at watching movies. There, I said it. It takes me forever - I usually fall asleep and end up watching the same movie multiple times until I actually see it from start to finish. I continually add items to my Netflix queue but have made NO progress on it. Slowly but surely, I'm starting to knock some movies off. First, I watched "Confessions of a Shopaholic" which was pretty cute and entertaining. I didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I did. The next movie I received was "Up." OMG! It was the cutest and saddest movie ever. Pixar movies always kill me - I end up teary eyed at some point. I highly recommend it - "Up" was awesome!

62. Take the GREs if necessary

Last night, I realized that time is flying by and application time is rapidly approaching. About 2/3 of the schools I am applying to require the GREs so I said "Crap, I better register to take that test ASAP." So, on September 10, I will officially take the GREs! That gives me a month to prepare - I really don't want to have to take it more than once (it's $160, eek!) so I'm super motivated to get moving and start getting ready. This is also one of the first steps I've taken toward actually applying to schools. It's feeling real now and now just a dream! I hope I get in somewhere!
