Been meaning to update for quite some time, but I would rather be busy than have tons of time to blog. Working as the HR Co-op Student at Irving Pulp & Paper has been a very worthwhile experience and come the end of the month, it will seem to quick to have finished already. In one way, however, I am looking forward to my final year of University.

In regards to my 101 Goals, I have been making steep progress since the last time I updated it roughly two months prior. Completed goals:

- 26: Rewatch all seasons of Arrested Development. I rewatched all seasons of Arrested Development with Sarah. Was quite sad to have the series come to an end for the second time, but I really enjoyed watching it again, especially seeing someone enjoy it for the first time as I was once able to.

- 37: Sell something on eBay or Amazon. I have sold several items on Amazon.ca recently. Looking to move many of my movies and books off of shelves and put a little extra cash aside to pay for school next month.

- 49: Buy an iPod (or similar mp3 player. I originally purchased a Sandisk Sansa 8GB model in June, but it quickly began malfunctioning. I am much happier with my Creative Zen V Plus 8GB.

- 59: Buy Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows the day it comes out (July 21).
Pre-ordered the novel roughly a week prior to its release.

- 74: Go camping/tenting. Took Sarah tenting in PEI for Canada Day with a few friends. Was a great time.

I will be completing goal #15 come October as Matthew Good tickets go on sale tomorrow for a concert in Fredricton, October 13th. Excitement is setting in.

One problem I have run into is changing tastes. It is unlikely that I will read Freakonomics or read any further Chuck Palahniuk novels; however, I will be pleased to donate money to a serious cause in lieu of completing those goals. In the future, I will create a small set of alternate goals as I have seen others doing when using this system.
