5. Go to the cinema 10 times (5/10)

83. Buy a winter coat
- Finally bought a real wintercoat two weeks ago, and I'm so happy that I got it overwith, as the weather here has gotten a lot colder since then!

97. Sort out all of the wires by my computer
- My family finally got this done together. And not only did we sort out the wires, we even collected the computer-related wires in the same sockets, so the power now can be turned off everything connected to the computer without turning off our telephones, internet etc :D

Goals in progress these weeks

60. Practice at home once a week during dancing-season (9/17 weeks)
- Got to practice a lot in the week before going to Vienna, and I've also practiced at home since returning :) I always get really motivated to train even more after competing, so I'm trying to get some work done on all of my dances to do even better next time!

63. Compete in 3 international competitions (2/3)
- Competed at the Vienna Feis last Sunday, and had a great day - this is also the reason why I didn't update last week :) I danced well, and also placed pretty good, so I was happy!

13. Read 101 books (29/101)
-I've finally managed to read a "normal" book besides all of my homework - to bring a book in your bag is the solution, as I often have time to read a few pages in the bus on my way to and from school every day :)

- Did plenty of sit-ups this week!

- Watched 10 episodes this week, and thereby finished season 1 :)

14. Complete 33 big crosswords (8/33)
- Finished a crossword today, and I am planning on getting back on track on this one - I have actually tried to do so over the last month or so, but the last ones were too hard for me to even get the first half done :(

55. Do 80 sit-ups 3 times a week (21/60 weeks)
- I've done situps 6 times this week, big yay!

60. Practice at home once a week during dancing-season (6/17 weeks)

10. Watch all episodes of Alias in order (13/105 episodes)
- Watched 7 episodes this week, which I consider as huge progress. I managed to get my homework done a bit more quickly some days to have more time to watch TV-shows and read normal books, which is a strategy I am planning to use in the coming weeks as well!

33. See a Royalty 5 times (1/5)
- I saw Crown Princess Mary on Friday. She came to some movie-thing in my town, so went by and waited around to see her on my way home for school :)

49. Bake 33 times (8/33)
- Baked a hazelnut-meringue/chocolate cream-cake earlier today. It was okay, but the texture was a bit strange :P

- I remembered to do my third round on Friday - an early completion for this week compared to my usual do-it-just-before-updating ;)

60. Practice at home once a week during dancing-season (5/17 weeks)
- Didn't train much this week either, but managed to do a bit. I'll try to be more active in the mornings next week, as I have to upgrade my trainings before a competition in a few weeks!

11. Listen to 20 new artists (2/20)
- I've listened to Amy Macdonald's album this weekend. I knew 2 or 3 of the songs before and liked them, and since they're all pretty alike, I liked the rest as well :)

19. Become SingStar in 20 songs (3/20)
- Became SingStar in Mamma Mia by ABBA last nigt - I love the song and it wasn't too hard :P I just got 2 new games and I think I can become SingStar in quite a few of the songs with time!

47. Try 20 recipes from my cookbooks (2/20)
- Made gratin dauphinois (or a Danish dish like it!) last night and it was very successful, I'll definitely be doing it again soon!

55. Do 80 sit-ups 3 times a week (19/60 weeks)
- Barely managed to get back on track with this one! I'm really having a hard time remembering to do these, I think I have to do small notes in my room to remember...

60. Practice at home once a week during dancing-season (4/17 weeks)
- I've tried to practise a few steps now and then during the week, and a friend from dancing spent the night at my place last night which lead to us trying to come up with some new steps for our dancing :P

77. Be with friends approximately 2 times every month (27/70)
- Had 7 of my dancing buddies over last night for a SingStar-night :) We had the best time, and will definitely do it again soon!

5. Go to the cinema 10 times (4/10)
- Went to see The Ugly Truth with some girls from my class on Friday night. I liked the movie, but I had expected more of it :s It reminded me too much of 27 Dresses, but it was not as sweet, and I'm getting kind of bored of Katherine Heigl in these quite similar roles...but it was still an okay movie!

60. Practice at home once a week during dancing-season (3/17 weeks)
- Only jumped around a very little this week :( I've just had tons of plans and too little time to really get some practice done...

63. Compete in 3 international competitions (1/3)
- Booked flight tickets and hotel for a competition in Vienna in October, yay! Now I just have to practice A LOT to even get the slightest chance of winning!

77. Be with friends approximately 2 times every month (26/70)
- Went to the cinema and to a cafe with the girls from my class, and I ate dinner and went to a concert with my dancing buddies last night :D I've really been social these last weekends and I quite like going out this much - but I think I'll turn it down just a little in order to also enjoy some freetime at home during the weekend and not just spent the whole day doing nothing 'cause I'm too tired to be active :P

95. Enter at least 5 random contests (2/5)
- Entered a competition for some skiing trips and skiing jackets today... I don't think I stand a chance for winning, but I might as well try my luck :D

- Baked a lovely pineapple cake earlier this week - it was quite simple to make, but it was surprisingly good :P

55. Do 80 sit-ups 3 times a week (18/60 weeks)
- I really need to remember to do these outside of dance class - every week, I get the 2 rounds done there, but then I forget to do the last round until I'm doing this update :s

60. Practice at home once a week during dancing-season (1/17 weeks)
- I still have to pull myself together to really get some practice done, but I jumped around a bit this week as well, better than not practising at all!

- Spent Friday with a friend, and I've also been to several social events with my new class :)

88. Buy a new computer
- I finally got my Macbook Pro this week and I love it :D It's so much faster than my old one and it has some really nice features - I'm struggling a bit to get used to all of the new commandos and stuff on the key board, but I'm getting better every minute!

Goals in progress this week
55. Do 80 sit-ups 3 times a week (17/60 weeks)
- Even though I was away for 3 days this week, I still managed to get the sit-ups done :D

56. Go for a walk approximately two times every month (15/70)
- Went on a 3-day trip with my new class to Northern Zealand, and went for a few walks while there. It's always more fun to go for walks in new areas, especially in more scenic surroundings!

60. Practice at home once a week during dancing-season (1/17 weeks)
- The season started on Tuesday and I managed to jump around a bit this morning - I will probably practice a bit harder when I'm not completely bombed after 5 days of introduction activities at my new school ;)

I also decided on my goal #101 - I've chosen to keep myself up on getting involved in a so-called Buddy programme at my school. You basically apply to help exchange students during their first days in Denmark, either by helping them to get settled and to get used to being at the school, or you can get involved planning the activities for the first days etc. It sounds like an interesting programme and I'd like to get involved in some of the social activities at school so I hope I can get into it :)

38. Find 30 caches by geocaching (30/30)
- Today, me and my sister found 4 caches, and thereby, this goal is completed :D When I wrote my list, I had never tried geocaching before, but hoped that I would like it enough to find 30 cahces...by now, I love to geocache and I will definitely continue to find new caches!!

Goals in progress this week
12. Read 10 classical Danish books (3/10)
- I read Aldrig mere fri by Sara Blædel this week. This is a rather new book, from 2008, but based on it's popularity I've considered it a classic! I really liked in and can't wait to read the other books in the series.

15. Complete a Soduko-book (260/300)
- I'm still doing sodukos while playing Counter-Strike and I still like to do them this way :D

55. Do 80 sit-ups 3 times a week (15/60 weeks)
- I'm trying to get back on track with this one - mainly to try to regain a bit of my strength before dancing starts again in two weeks!

88. Buy a new computer
- I ordered my Macbook Pro earlier this week, but since they've recieved so many orders lately, the waiting time is way longer than usually... so I guess I'll just have to be patient :P
