30 Day Challenge Update

•     I really didn't know that  we were supposed to write thIs (I HAD TO HOLD DOWN THE CAPS LOCK BUTTON TO WRITE THAT!)...  I'M GOING TO WRITE THIS IN ALL CAPITALS BECAUSE MY PHONE GLITCHES WHEN I POST ON BLOGGER.     MY 30 DAY CHALLENGE WAS TO PRACTICE PIANO EVERY DAY FOR AN HOUR.  IT HAS BEEN WORKING BUT WHEN BASKETBALL STARTED TO GET BUSIER AND MORE TIME CONSUMING I GAVE IT UP AND MY PIANO SAT AND CRIED AS IT GOT DUSTY IN ITS OWN DARK LITTLE CORNER.  WHEN I DO PRACTICE IT'S USUALLY FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES TO AN HOUR, SO I GUESS I DIDN'T PLAY FAIR.  I ONLY LIKE TO PRACTICE MY PIECES (SONGS) BUT I ABSOLUTELY DETEST THE TECHNIQUE!! IT'S SO ANNOYING!                                        MY GOAL WAS REACHED AT ONE POINT BUT I DIDN'T KEEP IT LONG ENOUGH TO MAKE IT A HABIT.  I GUESS I'LL HAVE TO RESET THE DATES AND START AGAIN WHILE I HAVE NO SPORTS TO COMPETE FOR MY TIME... BUT BADMINTON, HERE I COME :)                                                                      Y'ALL HAVE A GREAT SPRING BREAK!  I HOPE TO SEE YOU AROUND
  

30 day challenge progress report

My 30 day challenge was to watch the evening news everyday on CBC and also to not eat microwave dinner. I watched the news every day so far and it is quite fun following up with the current events. However it has been hard for the past two days because I could not find much time as mock trials is today and tommorrow (I'll still be wearing what I wore today to class). I asked my mom to remind me to watch the news everyday and this has been quite good up till now.

Microwave dinner. I did not eat any exept for the day when my mom forgot to go shopping in which we had to eat some or starve. I did not ask anyone to help me with this and I have been good up till now as well

PROGRESS REPORT ~ 30 DAY CHALLENGE

If you didn't already know I have 2 goals. My first goal is to practice playing the piano more and my second goal is to make my bed.

For practicing piano I haven't been successful:( I injured my tailbone so I'm having a really hard time to sit. The pain just won't go away!!! I am trying my best to try and practice. I was really excited because I was gonna challenge my self to practice playing the piano. I wanted to make it a habit. Usually I only practice for 15-20 minutes. I need to practice at least 3o minutes a day. I can't just ditch the piano after 15-20 minutes. It's lonely!!!! Once my tailbone heals hopefully I can set the challenge again and work at my goal! :)

For making my lovely and comfortable bed I have been successful! I improved. I've been making my bed everyday. It's getting to be a habit. YAY! I haven't reached to the level when taking my time and putting the fancy pillows on my bed. I just pull up the blankets and place the pillows I sleep on the top. When I make my bed it makes my room look way neater and complete. Hopefully I can keep it up! ;)

Thirty Day Challenge Progress Report

Thirty Day Challenge Progress Report

If you don’t all remember, my thirty day challenge was to practice piano for an hour everyday between 6 o’clock and 9 o’clock.

I’d say that I’ve been pretty successful at fulfilling this promise to myself because I do practice every day for an hour... for the most part (did I trick you?) Anyways there have been days when I’ve practiced for 45 minutes and said to myself, “Close enough!”, leave the piano, and call it a day which is cheating. Sometimes there isn’t even an actual valid reason why I stop practicing before my goal of 1 hour! Mostly, though, I’ve been a pretty good kid and I think Santa will be able to overlook these flaws in my behaviour and visit my house for Christmas this year.

In the pursuit of making my thirty day challenge an everyday thing even after the challenge is over I have enlisted the help of my mother, the most reliable human being on Earth! I told her to force me to practice every day even if I made up lame excuses.

The rest of my motivation has been from myself. This is because at the time my family was looking for a piano we were very serious about one piano from a man named Norman. We almost bought it before we found another cheaper one that worked just as well (and looked better, too). We went back and told Norman that we didn’t want his piano anymore and he just had a tantrum on the spot! He said, “You know what? Your kids are not even going to make it far in their piano studies so you don’t need a good piano like this one anyways!” and so we just walked out. That made me want to finish my piano studies to prove to him that at least one kid from my family would finish and finish well! Even if I never see him again to prove it to him.

I don’t think there is anything about my thirty day challenge that I need to change because I know that it’s doable. I just need Spartan discipline!

Congratulations Sara!

You made the geography challenge finals! Thursday you will go to your second block class after lunch for attendance and then go to the library for the test. The finals are usually shorter so you will not miss your whole class. Good luck and bring a blue and red pen with you.
