Dear Blog,
Here is my Day 30 entry for the 30 Day Blog Challenge.
Day 30 — Whatever Tickles Your Fancy
Nikki and I saw Spamalot today. It was so amazingly funny!
I then helped her move into her apartment.
I honor of the musical, here's a neat clip.
Until next time!

Day 29 of the 30 Day Blog Challenge
Dear Blog,
Here is my Day 29 entry for the 30 Day Blog Challenge.
Day 29 — Hopes, Dreams and Plans for the Next 365 Days
I hope to have a reasonably accurate Doctor Who costume by either the finale of Season 6 or Halloween.
I hope over the next 365 days I am able to improve upon my RA skills and design better programs, create nicer decorations, and execute my duties with confidence, all while leader my floor (and the building) in a positive direction.
I also hope to have the Community Development collateral next year so that I manage the Woods House Twitter account and Facebook page, create a weekly Woods House vlog, and fashion Floor Wars with a Star Wars theme, all in hopes of spurring more participation.
I dream that I will find the motivation to lose some weight, build some cardiovascular endurance and strength, and live a slightly healthier life.
I plan to plan better, including acquiring a new planner to keep track of dates and times of activities, attending more Phi Sigma Pi events, engaging with the campus more, attending more programs hosted by other RAs and Hall Council, all while balancing a social life and leaving time for myself to watch movies, play games, read, or whatever I wish to unwind in some sort of tranquil solitude.
I hope that I am able to be happier with myself.
I plan to focus on my actions and strive to be a good friend.
I dream that I may be able to write more and somehow get published.
I plan to enjoy summer blockbuster movies that I've been wanting to see for a long while.
I plan to watch new episodes of my favorite shows as soon as possible and not have to watched three or four episodes to catch up.
I dream that I may make a positive impact in the world, even if it is small.
I hope I am respected by my floor.
I plan to rethink my approaches to conflict.
I hope that I am able to manage stress.
I dream that I may find my true purpose in life.
Until next time,
-Daniel Golden

Day 27 of the 30 Day Blog Challenge
Dear Blog,
Here is my Day 27 entry for the 30 Day Blog Challenge.
Day 27 — This Month, In Great Detail
Glancing at my planner, I can see that:
I was on duty for the first weekend of the month.
I worked the desk the next weekend.
I helped interview for a new hall staff position.
Attended the Phi Sigma Pi Induction of the Alpha Epsilon class (sorry, cool yet secret stuff happened).
Helped with Showcase by giving tours of Woods House, saw the family and got new pants, then helped with a game of Quidditch at Scholar's House, and then went to Founder's Day party.
Next weekend consisted of long Easter Break desk shifts.
This week featured a lot of programs, papers, presentations, and other general "To-Do List" tasks.
Next month? Portal 2.
Until next time!

Here is my Day 26 entry for the 30 Day Blog Challenge.
Day 26 — Your Week, In Great Detail
My memory fails me in an epic way, so I decline to elaborate on my week in great detail.
If I survive the next three weeks, my prize will be getting the video game Portal 2. It look quite awesome.
Until next time!

Dear Blog,
Here is my Day 25 entry for the 30 Day Blog Challenge.
Day 25 — Your Day, in Great Detail
Monday, April 25, 2011
Woke up about 8:00AM.
Class from 8:35AM to 11:35AM.
First was Introduction to Clinical Psychology. Listened to a presentations on Veterans and PTSD which reminded me to work on my presentation for that class.
Next class was Mark Twain, in which a few presentations were given and I was reminded to prepare my presentation for that class.
Next class was Psychology of Humor. Teacher was ill, but taught class anyway. No class on Wednesday. Cool.
Lunch in Garst with Eureka thanks to my iPhone. Saw David and congratulated him on his engagement to Aleigha. Ate a very yummy toasted turkey sandwich.
Searched for information on a few projects after lunch, then shifted to RA research and preparation, then distracted by Membase.
RHA at 4. Nikki poked fun at my reoccurring theme of a potty break before meeting. Bought candy and a Pepsi Max beforehand, after the potty break. The fact that I had a Pepsi Max confused Nikki. Cookies during committee meeting were yummy. Representative from Chartwells talked to RHA. Then I answered every robot related trivia question that day. Felt very awesome.
Only coffee makers allowed in ResLife rooms now. California fire code approved bed cushions only, too. Discussed proposal for RA walkie-talkies. I loved the idea. Half of the small number present didn't. I thought they were odd.
I came off rude to Nikki by mistake directly after meeting.
Dinner with Bethany shortly thereafter.
Apologized to Nikki with the gifts of puppy pictures later, and then talked to Nikki. Apology accepted, we're still awesome.
Struggled with homework. Requested extension on paper. It was granted. Showered, then went to bed early. Watched rest of Eureka episode in bed on the iPhone, then had an amazing night's sleep.
Technically, this blog isn't late, because I had to go through my entire day before posting it.
Until next time!

Day 24 of the 30 Day Blog Challenge
Dear Blog,
Here is my Day 24 entry for the 30 Day Blog Challenge.
Day 24 — Whatever Tickles Your Fancy
I'm just going to find quotes from the Doctor and post them one here because since the start of the sixth season, I've been in a very Doctor Who mood. I would love to be the Doctor. To be that fantastic, wonderfully humorous, massively intelligent and brilliant, slightly wacky, lovable, savior of everyone just because I could character.
9th
Rose: Who are you?
The Doctor: [turns around] Do you know like we were sayin'? About the Earth revolving? [walks towards Rose] It's like when you're a kid. The first time they tell you that the world's turning and you just can't quite believe it 'cause everything looks like it's standin' still. [looks at Rose] I can feel it. [takes Rose's hand] The turn of the Earth. The ground beneath our feet is spinnin' at 1,000 miles an hour and the entire planet is hurtling around the sun at 67,000 miles an hour, and I can feel it. We're fallin' through space, you and me, clinging to the skin of this tiny little world, and if we let go... [lets go of Rose's hand] That's who I am.
10th
Rickston Slade: Hang on a minute. Who put you in charge? And who in the hell are you anyway?
The Doctor: I'm the Doctor. I'm a Time Lord. I'm from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborous. I'm 903 years old, and I'm the man who's gonna save your lives and all six billion people on the planet below. You got a problem with that?
Slade: No.
The Doctor: In that case: Allons-y!
11th
Amy Pond: I thought... well, I started to think you were just a madman with a box.
The Doctor: Amy Pond, there's something you better understand about me, 'cause it's important and one day your life may depend on it. [Smiles] I am definitely a madman with a box.
Until next time!
