Personal Success

I'll be updating this portion/entry frequently with a listing of accomplishments. Why? Because, when you're a self conscious little Mary, each one is like stepping on the crest of a mountain and screaming "YAWP!"*

Last week:

1. Cat sitted for the first time. It was great! (Though, I realized that I do not want a cat).
2. Began exercising. (This is HUGE).
3. Gave my phone number to someone I was interested in. (First time in the history of my 23 years).
4. Was assertive about the importance of my birthday

This past week:

1. I allowed myself to enjoy going out and connecting with someone
(Second date from Last Week #3. Also, have a dating phobia).
1a. Handled this date turning badly, well.
1b. Gave him "what for", stood up for myself, and did the right thing.
2. Single handedly defused multiple panic attacks
3. Road Metra and went some place new
4. Passed with flying colors fears I had about my job
5. Started running OUTSIDE! (Where people can see me...)
6. Obtained my grant money for my research/studio trip from the school. (will talk about this more in-depth soon).
