Cracking the Code

At the end of last semester, I made up a big list of things that I wanted to accomplish/experience this summer. I pulled up that list for the first time this summer...last week. Yes. As good of a memory as I may have, it was not good enough to help me remember all my goals. Out of my list of 12 big things, I had a whole two of them done. Would you like to guess what they were? *silence* *crickets chirping* Ok. I will tell you instead.

1. Get a tan
2. Keep up with Summer Snapshots

First of all, my tan is not really anything to write home about. The little kids I hang out with are all more brown than I. Plus, I'm just opening myself up to skin cancer. Score! Second of all, I just really enjoy blogging, so that wasn't even a real goal.

My other goals included things like completing my resume, having consistent devotions, and earning bukus of money for next semester. All of those are somewhat being worked on, but nowhere near being accomplished.

However. I have some news. It's big news. It's HUGE news. It's so cool, I'm practically leaping out my chair with glee as I think about it! I accomplished another goal just tonight! And it is one of those goals that I never really thought I would finish. My list reads: learn one new skill. Well, guess what? I learned to work with HTML code!! For any computer illiterates, it just means computer code. Lots of words and punctuations that made no sense to me about an hour and a half ago.

But wait! There's more! Not only did I learn to use said code, I used my new knowledge to set up a second blog (very nerdy, I know) for me to continue writing about traveling to Belgium for chocolate-tasting. I'm rather happy with how it turned out :) The blog address is

No, I did not get my whole summer list checked off, but I have about one month left. And with such inspiration as mastering HTML code, I'm ready to conquer this last month and get stuff done!
