15 Things Update

 First off, thank you Emily for the Liebster Award! I'll make my post about that tomorrow.

 Well, it's been 15 days since I started  "15 Things to do before I'm 15" so today you get the progress report! Click here to see the complete list and summarized progress report.

3. Write 15 letters to my pen pals

I've written 4 letters to my pen pals Emilie and Heather so far. So only 11 to go!

5. Write 15 short stories/poems

Wrote 1 poem. I might have to share it on my blog sometime

6. Make 15 different desserts

The sweet things I have made in 15 days include homemade Frappuchinos, Chocolate cake, Cinamon-sugar soft pretzels, and chocolate chip cookies that decided not to rise... 

7. Paint my nails 15 different colors

So far painting my nails has been going the best on my list. I have painted them 6 different colors in 15 days including purple, light purple, sparkly hot pink, red, teal, and orange. Wow, I didn't know I painted my nails that much...

9. Meet 15 new people

So far I have met 2 girls at HEAT. Tieney (if that's how you spell her name) and Maggie who are both best friends. I also met 1 girl at Youth Group who I think is 17 maybe? So in all 3 people.

10. Read 15 books of the Bible

I have read 2 books so far including Titus and Hebrew. Titus is pretty short, but Hebrews was 13 chapters long or so... I've read about a book a day so far.

11. Draw 15 real people

Britt Nicole and Francesca Battistelli are my two. Let's just say Francesca looks TERRIBLE in my drawing, and so I really should redo her sometime...

14. Stay 15 days ahead in math for at least 5 days

SHOCKINGLY, I am 6 days ahead in math! That is an amazing thing for me to do in only 15 days. I must have had too much sugar these past weeks or something... I don't expect to get that many done the next week!

15. Try 15 new foods

I tried pumpernickel pretzel sticks which didn't taste great, but were okay. I also tried chilie lime crackers which tasted kind of weird. I had bean sprouts which I don't think I've ever tasted before, and I didn't care for either. Then I tried a liver patty which was DISGUSTING and I decided maybe I should take a break from trying new foods ;) ha ha. I think I just have been trying things I don't care for, so maybe soon I'll find something I like! I did also try these weird mini pickle which each pickle was like the size of a paper clip, and those actually tasted pretty good. :)

So as you can see, I have made some progress on my list. Oh, and today is officially 100 days till my birthday! So I think I'll be able to complete some of these on my list by then. Some of my goals I have not touched yet, but some of them are going well.

p.s. for those of you who don't know, XD is like a smiley face smiling soooo big, that it's closing its eyes. It also sort of-kind of means LOL, so it's a mix of stuff :)
