Day Four: Courtney's Picture

Today is a lazy day. I've been laying on the floor watching How I Met Your Mother for the past hour. It's my favorite show!

Day Four: Courtney

Today hasn't been as productive as other days. I guess because it's a weekend. Always taking the stairs gets a bit annoying because usually I'll just sit stuff I can't carry on the floor of the elevator, but now I have to take several trips. It's good for me though I guess. I'm working on the novel right now. That's really the hardest one. I guess I should get back to that. Thanks again for the support!

This is a picture of our lovely recital hall. It's rather peaceful here with all the lights dimmed.

Day Three: Courtney

Today I got sick, so challenges have been rather difficult. I missed my last two classes of the day and spent the majority of it sleeping. Rachel even walked in to me asleep on the floor. I did meet a stranger today. He was an older gentleman who gave Rachel and I a ride to our first class in a golf cart. He was super sweet. I really appreciated it , especially since I didn't feel well. I have also watched a documentary today. It is called This Is Love in Action. Look it up. Well, I'm going to go finish up remaining challenges. Thanks for the support!

Day Two: Rachel

It's only Day Two, but I can already feel things getting easier. It's still hard managing to fit so many things into one day, but I'm figuring out how to squeeze things into my day. This challenge is beginning to open me to so many new things that I never knew about. Today I found an extremely interesting theory on the history of the earth that has been very exciting and fun to research and delve into. I'm enjoying all of the new experiences and all of the new things I'm learning. This challenge is one of the best decisions of my life. I'm finally forcing myself to do all the things I've wanted to do, but have failed to actually pursue doing. I'm so excited to see what tomorrow brings and hopefully tomorrow will bring more sleep.

This is my friend Elliot. It was supposed to be a candid shot, but being the completely fabulous guy that Elliot is, he struck a pose.

Day Two: Courtney

Today has been a long day.  The funny thing is, the challenges don't get in the way of my school work.  They actually don't take up that much time (well besides writing novel).  The challenges are already benefiting my life in several ways.  For example, I am finally sitting down and research  topics that I have wanted to know more about for the past couple of years.  These challenges are also helping me focus more on how to get stuff done.  We keep a chart on the back of our door to mark our progress (I'll post a picture of it tomorrow).  I think the two challenges that are the most difficult would be the 50,000 word novel and the cold showers.  The meditation is also difficult because of the patience it takes, but not nearly as hard as sitting down and writing a novel.  We calculated that we need to write 1,700 words each day to make the deadline and being a full-time college student makes that hard, especially when you have 29 other challenges to do on top of it.  I think this is all I will say for tonight.  I'm hoping to include more details of our adventures on the weekend when there is more time.  Support and well wishes are much appreciated!
