Oooh, sounds like a good idea :) Hmmm things I want to achieve in October?

Get past my birthday without any drama
Start my new uni module properly (actually reading the chapters I am meant to when I am meant to!)
Write my blog at least twice a week
Attempt to organise the AGM for the community group I'm working with
Get proper information on how to become a teacher (and try to find a teaching assistant job somewhere)

I'll probably find other things as well but this will do for now :)

Thanks Jane for the great idea :)

I clearly knew that this years birthday wasnt going to go smoothly. Without going into too much detail it didnt go without some drama. as for the others, I havent been able to start my next module as I havent recieved the course materials. But I am half way through my blog twice a week for this week :) lol

Good idea. Here are a couple I'd like to get through this month, from my 101 list:

-drink 2 quarts of water every day for two weeks (I'm hoping to make this more of a habit)
-get something other than my ears pierced (possible birthday present to myself)
-have a tourist day in San Francisco
-finish a major paper more than two weeks before its due

Love this idea! I post my monthly goals on my blog, too. Anyway, here's the short list:

Make at least $500 a month through writing
Get all my queries accepted
Obtain at least of five clients for Mocha Writer
Make my blog even more fabulous
Create the outline for my ebook
Send at least three queries to national magazines
Work out three days a week and practice yoga two days
Have a successful G.I.R.L. outing and get things on track (G.I.R.L. is an organization I started for girls in my community).

Good luck, everybody!

I'm glad you have all taken up the challenge, and I want to add a new one:

-organise my very first photography exhibition succesfully

This is a great idea! I posted my goals for the fall season on my blog earlier this month.

I am working on being focused, frugal & fun. So far I've done an ok job at all 3, but could use some help being frugal & having fun at the same time.

Have you thought about joining clubs or courses in your local area? I found a course in social and creative enterprise that is actually FREE, and I get to meet some very interesting people. I'm also going to join a photography club - I have to pay a yearly sub, but then get lots of workshops, talks, etc.

How are you all going? This is my progress so far:

- web design course - almost there, just one more thing to do.
- new laptop - I know the one I want, just a question of burning the plastic.
- get better at cover teaching - slowly...I hope!
- moving blog - haven't done anything so far....not happy with that
- signwriting quotes - in progress
- photo exhibition - have ordered prints, frames and mounts, now just need to screw some screws into the frames...
