Life Goals: August

I can't believe another month has already gone by! I'm loving these summer days and I wish they could last forever! It's been so long since I've relaxed and now that I have been- I don't want to stop! However, I've still been accomplishing goals- however minuscule they may seem.

In July I accomplished the following goals:
#107: Fly on a kite on the beach. I had so much fun- especially when the kite is a Barbie one! Look below to see the pictures!

#205: Get my CPR License: It's official! I received the card in the mail and it is tucked safely in my wallet.

I've been focusing on achieving a lot of new goals:
#2: Hatch and raise a chick: Well, I made my second attempt and sadly, failed. My dad is blaming it on the incubator rather than my mothering skills! I hope so...All I know is that the temperature is not supposed to exceed 102 degrees and I caught it once at 105! Oops! Well, I'll still keep trying...

#4: Go to UCLA- I'm getting ready for college! I've been feeling a little bit of anxiety lately, but I'm reminding myself that I am more than fear. I know that I can do it!

#14: Get baptized: I want to do this either with my best friend, Lauren or Evan. I'm looking into it- I would love to do this before I venture off to college

#49: Watch Top 100 AFI Movies: This month I watched "Citizen Kane" which I didn't think was too bad- I finally know where "Rosebud" comes from. Also, last night I watched "The Godfather" which I think is a classic that everyone must see in their lifetime. It was a good movie but definitely not one that I'd watch for fun. The "Raging Bull" is next on my list- I'm not really looking forward to it...

#71: Read Harry Potter series. I'm on the last book! I finished the sixth book in a week- it was such a great read- and now I'm about half way through the "Deathly Hallows". I am mesmerized by J.K. Rowling's talent. I'm happy to say that I've been reading for at least an hour every day instead of watching T.V. and I've noticed a positive change in my life since doing so.

#342: Taking acting lessons with the Acting Corps: I'm a little nervous for this one! I start on Monday and I'll be driving to LA every Monday through Friday for the next month! I really hope that this will be a positive experience for me!
