Two New Movies!

Yesterday, I went over to the boyfriend's house, and I saw not one, but two movies I hadn't seen before.
First we watched Transformers (I know, please don't kill me! There are more important movies I haven't seen yet!) I really liked it. I just can't get that image of Monkey-Optimus Prime out of my head. From one of the TV versions of it from when I was a kid.
Then we ate some food and stuff. Then we watched Groundhog's Day. Which was actually pretty neat. It made the Supernatural episode of the same title more funny.

This makes my goal #9 (See 50 new movies) 10% complete!

FAFSA is a bitch

I just completed and submitted my FAFSA form. (Goal #27 is to get enrolled in school.) It was long and complicated and strange. But I did it! Hopefully they'll deem me poor enough to pay for my schooling. Or part of it, at least.

I was actually accepted to Minneapolis Community Technical College! (Herein "MCTC") But I haven't taken my placement tests, and I haven't chosen classes, so I'm not 'enrolled' yet. D:

I hope that, when we do move out, it's in Minneapolis. Maybe that'll make it easier to get to MCTC. I need to take like three buses, as is.

February General Update

I'm aware that February isn't quite over yet. But I partly love doing updates, and it's partly that I've got nothing else to do, and also that February is so gorram short.

Completed this month:
I participated in 'A Day in my Life' (goal #55)

In progress this month:
I typed up two of my ten quotes books (goal #8)
I saw four new movies - Ironman, Lady in the Water, Transformers, and Groundhog Day (goal #9)
I learned how to make homemade pizza (goal #29)
I've posted bi-weekly comics on Loser Corner, my webcomic. (goal #54)
I participated in Hourly Comic Day 2009 (goal #57)
I made/tossed homemade pizza (goal #88)
I bought tickets to see Rent live (complete with Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal!) (goal #92)
I've been finding ideas for my next 101 list. (goal #100)
Read a complete book (goal #93)
That book happened to be a Douglass Adams book (goal #95)

Not too terrible, if I say so myself.

Total progress bar:

27 / 101 (25.0%)
