005 - Lists

I've realised that I've a lot of things to do and remember. So here is a post all about lists and "note to self"s so that I can compile them into one huge chunk and edit them whenever I feel like. Here are some, from the old blog:

To do whenever:

• Design my new room.
• Convince myself that ‘Mortal Instruments’ is not creepy and start reading it.
• Pack and get ready all my stuff for the new house.
• Throw away all useless things.
• Do the youth camp thing properly and be proud of it.
• Find a way to type properly and not sound boring.
• Do more qt.
• Swear less.
• Be nicer to people.
• Curb my OCD needs.
• Bake cinnamon rolls nicely.
• Cook something for someone.
• Stop hating so many people.
• DIY some shit for myself.
• Write snail mail to some people secretly and make them happy.
• Find a way to ask people for their addresses without them suspecting that I will send them something.
• Eat less junk.
• Exercise more.
• Have a gay (not literally) sleepover with the church people.
• Do gay (again, not literally) things at the sleepover, i.e. paint our nails, bake, tie dye, pillow fights (lul)
• Save more money to buy more things, refer to the things to buy list.
• Splatter paint some shit.

To Do Before Lessons Start (09/01/2012):

• Do up my new file: insert folders and make new labels.
• Get ready the second file for homework.
• Slowly bring all the heavy books to school one at a time so I don't have to carry everything on Monday itself.
• Mentally prepare myself for the lessons.
• Finish the 50 English expressions.
• Finish Chinese homework.
• Gather up all my completed homework and allow myself a moment of satisfaction.
• Double check to see if I missed out on any homework.
• Pack my bag, remember the calculator, Chinese dictionary, flexible ruler, et cetera...
