2010...Oh Yeah.

So the website is now up and running as well as the Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter. It is really exciting. I have had a ton of orders on the website and the Facebook page has over 1,000 fans in less then a week. I have been getting so many emails from people praising Be A Number and they are absolutely flattering... keep them coming :) But honestly, every email and every single idea, big or small, help to complete this amazing puzzle. The Student Rep. programs are starting up this semester. These people at different colleges are so into it and it's awesome. As of right now, the school that has gotten the most done in the shortest amount of time is University of Michigan. They have been amazing. I am so damn excited to see where this month will take us.

The reason that I really wanted to make a blog today is because I have come up with a list of things to do this year. I guess you can call it "new year's resolutions" but to me they fall under another category. I can not take full credit for all of these, because a few of them were inspired from Tim Ferriss as well as Kevin Rose. Tim Ferriss wrote The Four Hour Workweek and keeps a blog @ www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog. And Kevin Rose is Tim Ferriss' friend who is the Founder of Digg. You can check out some of Kevin Rose's stuff @ kevinrose.com. Anyway... I am hoping that by posting this for all to see, I can accomplish all of these goals.

YEAR 2010 PLANS (in no order)
1. Learn to grow a bonsai Tree
2. See more live music
3. Drink more wine with friends
4. Learn to fly fish
5. Get my blood tested and check for vit. D
6. Read "Vagabonding"
7. Get into tea
8. Buy at least two pieces of art
9. Go wine tasting
10. Go Chocolate tasting
11. Cliff Jump
12. Camp on a mountain

So that is my list. I think they sound fun. If you have done any of these or know anything about any of them, let me know.

Also, I don't know if I had had this on the blog before, but add me on my Facebook and Twitter.

I'm so excited for this year.

LISTENING 2: SYMPHONIES by DAN BLACK

So Busy. So Excited.

My Christmas break has just ended and it feels nice to get back to school. O.K. so I have rewritten the first sentence probably 5 times because I can not think. There are two people next to me that are talking soo much and soo fast and soo loud, it's amazing. I am writing this in a computer lab because my computer is officially broken. :( I do not know what happened. The Be A Number website is not up yet because there was some major web designer drama. But I swear, it is almost up!! The logo has also gotten a bit of a makeover. I think it looks sweet. I have had so many people come up to me and ask me about the shirts and about the website, it is so exciting. Oh, this is also really cool, Liz went to one of her local middle schools to talk about Be A Number and see how they would react to the idea of helping out their generation. It went over so well. These kids went crazy :) It is so inspiring knowing that deep down people do want to help others that are less fortunate. These kids are at the perfect age where they are finally becoming who they will be for the rest of their lives. I personally believe that it says a lot about a child and their parents when someone so young wants to help so bad.

The first few hundred shirts officially have a home. The first few hundred shirts will be going to Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. I contacted their foster care agency and they were so excited about the shirts and what they will bring. I can not wait to go. Me and a few of my coworkers will be going during our spring break. :) I can not wait for this opportunity.

My classes start tomorrow and I am really excited for entrepreneurship class. I have no clue what it entails but I hope I get an A in it lol. Tomorrow night I have a small table set up at my schools "Winter-fest". I have never been to "Winter-fest" but this year it involves an ice skating rink, so that should be sweet. I love ice skating so I will definitely be on that when nobody is watching. I like to skate but I suck haha. OK, I'm going crazy so I have to get off of this computer because these girls are still talking. I wish I could record what they have been talking about, it's soo all over the place. haha
