back to school bucket list revisited

At the beginning of sophomore year, I made a "back to school bucket list."  Let's see how well I did...

• Make more friends.  I'd say yes, I did. Mostly I realized that the friends are there for me to have, but I am introverted and it's hard for me to put myself in situations where these friendships tend to thrive (like a party), so it feels like I don't.  There are a few people I am really excited to get to know better, and I am obviously stoked to bond with my London trip.  Progress!
• Bake more treats (this will probably help with the friend-making).  I'd say I made a fair amount of treats!
• Force my friends to have holiday parties with me (even if it's just me feeding them baked treats in my decorated room).  YES.  Claire and I had a lovely Valentine's Day get together.  Now that I will be living in a house, the holiday parties will be essential this fall.  I can't wait to decorate the house!  
• Save money & budget.  Doin' alright. 
• Go on fun & cheap dates with Ted.  We definitely cut back this year, but still had a ton of fun.  Lots of awesomely free musicals and theatre.  
• Have more girls nights.  I still need to initiate more of these, but I had my moments--like when Claire and I watched 500 Days of Summer and ate a whole frozen pizza from Maggie's or when I had the room to myself and watched The Devil Wears Prada and painted my nails.  A girl needs nights like these in the midst of stressful schoolwork!
• Write for the school newspaper.  I didn't do this, although I did join the Literary Review.
• Get more involved.  I'm definitely getting more and more involved in the theatre department--I designed for a dance piece in the fall, and a senior thesis show in the spring.
• Speak up more in classes.  It's a struggle, man. I'm working on it.
• Eat healthier so I have more energy.  I got myself to like salads!  I consider this a personal victory.
• Go hiking and enjoy the beautiful nature around me.  I didn't much, but it happened!
• Go on an outdoors trip.  I did!  It was great!
• Exercise. (You guys, I have never set foot into a gym... Embarrassing.)  I went to yoga for two hours once a week.  I am still trying to develop a personal routine.
• Write more.  Somewhat.
• Sketch more.  YES--I was in Drawing I this spring.  My favorite was figure drawing, which thrilled me because that's what I came to improve!  I am super stoked for Drawing II, which is focused on the figure.  I do need to get into a habit of practicing, practicing, practicing! 
• Be more confident in my work.  Getting closer.
• Call my family and friends more (not that I didn't last year, but you can never have too much love in your life).  I'd say I am pretty good at this.
• Become more direction-savvy.  Please.  I try really hard, guys.  And the past couple of weeks I have even started driving in Portland for the very first time!  It's basically everything that stresses me out about driving--pedestrians, rain, hills.  Woo hoo!

Half way done with undergrad.  What a crazy thing.
