Since I've been sick (and I still am), there are a lot of acts of good to catch up on!

  2. I've been collecting compost, even though I was sick.
  3. I continued making a gift that I had planned to give to my Oxford friends.
  4. I stopped procrastinating printing out a few birthday cards for other friends.
  5. I finished formatting my novel- the word document is officially finished!

Act of Good #74 and Update (Sick Again!)

I finished editing my NaNoWriMo today! I feel really satisfied with it, and I'm almost ready to get my free copy from CreateSpace.

Just when I thought I was recovering, I became sick again with a horrible stomachache, nausea, and a sinus infection. This time, I had to skip nearly a week of school, so I hope that I'll be better soon!

Acts of Good #73 and #74

Though I've been sick, I helped my mom clean the dishes today- though it's a relatively small act of good. :)
I also have been working really hard on writing my book, and I almost finished editing the whole thing!

Acts of Good #68, 69, and 70

  1. I've been procrastinating the project of finishing my NaNoWriMo, but I've finally decided to take the next step. Last night, I worked hard formatting my book, and I continued (and finished) in the morning. 
  2. I made the final cover for my book, accounting for bleed, spine size, etc. So, I'm almost completely finished!
  3. I'm editing the writing of my NaNoWriMo as well, and I'm on Chapter 4! *cheers*

Sick

I'm sick. I had a sore throat, a cough, etc. etc. etc.
I just wanted to let you know why I haven't posted in a while.

Acts of Good #64, 65, 66, and 67

I haven't posted acts of good in the past few days, so I wanted to catch up with the ones that I haven't recorded yet, so here we go:

  1. I've been talking to a lot of old friends and making sure to let them know how much I miss each of them, even the ones whom I didn't speak to often.
  2. After being asked for my parents what I want for my birthday (which is coming up soon), I asked them for something that is definitely an act of good, and they agreed. I'll announce it later on closer to my birthday, and it's extremely exciting!
  3. I gave two amazing friends birthday cards (and I gave one a present), though the cards required a bit of patience and effort, but their joyfulness made it worthwhile.
  4. I've been an advocator of recycling even before I went to my new school, as that was one of the jobs that the student government representatives at my old school would accomplish, but after meeting Mollie (one of my best friends), I've become so much more, and I'm happy to say that I've been trying my best to recycle (and compost now as well) as much as possible, and trying to be more eco-friendly. :)
