26 in 26 [review]

on Sunday [January 13th] we.. I.. will be a month into my 26 in 26 challenge.
I mean, I guess it isn't going terribly [you know the saying, "could be worse"]
unlike most New Years resolutions it is something that I haven't completely forgotten about.
I have actually gotten a start on "many" [7] of the actions on my list.

1. be in NYC at midnight on New Years Eve - COMPLETED
2. visit California 
3. visit 20 of the 50 United States - 15 states down, 5 to go!
4. finish my portfolio for grad school - sorta started
5. be accepted into the Masters in Architecture program
6. finish all 3 studio courses for my graduate degree
7. lose 50lbs - I think that this is in process, but the best way to track my progress is to really update my weight every time I update this post [monthly]. *shutter* current weight: 165lbs - 40 to go!
8. run a 5k in under 45 minutes
9. grow my hair out - touching my shoulders now!
10. pay off all credit card debit
11. pay off at least one of my student loans
12. finish all of the renovation work on our house so that we can move!
13. expand my photography skills
14. stop swearing
15. keep blogging consistently
16. reach 500 followers
17. get a job I love
18. be a more positive person
19. go sky diving 
20. start a 401k
21. do something helpful/kind for someone else without them knowing 
22. donate plasma
23. volunteer
24. read and finish six books - I am finishing one today and starting the next one!
25. complete a scrap book for my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary 
26. go to a psychic and have my fortune told - this is planned for NYC in April for Breanna's birthday!!

overall I would say that my list is going fairly well for being only a month deep.
I am excited to keep this momentum going.
is anyone else doing a goal list like this? if so, what is on it?

tomorrow, it's OK Thursday and another travel post!

see ya then
