The month of August was difficult for me. I thought about doing something off my 101 things list, but it just never happened. I was a bit too busy enjoying all of Ann Arbor. So, I've got a few little corrections to make to my list, and I am crossing off all my Michigan goals this month.
17. Visit three museums in Ann Arbor
In my time in Ann Arbor, I only managed to visit two museums: the Hands-on Museum and the Ruthven Exhibit Museum of Natural History. I thought about going to a third museum, but spending time indoors didn't interest me during this lovely summer. Therefore, in lieu of museuming in, I will share my pictures of Ann Arbor. The first part of the slideshow is part of my walk from my old apartment to campus; the rest of the slideshow are some pictures of stuff I like around town. For more detail, visit my flickr page and the Ann Arbor set, as I've written descriptions on the photos there.

18. Visit three new cities in Michigan 2/3 completed: Ypsilanti, Hartland
When I made this list, but before I had started it, I worked on some goals. In my mind, I didn't want to use that as part of my crossing off, but I don't really have a chance anytime soon to visit another city in Michigan. If I do get a chance, I'll do so and let you know here. In any case, I visited Brighton, Michigan, back in February sometime. It was a really cute little town, and I had some fabulous food there at Lynn's Off Main Street Cafe. Also, I visited the area of other cities while visiting friends -- South Lyon and Saline come to mind -- but I never really went downtown, so I feel weird claiming those as new cities.
46. While living by myself (or if I have amenable roommates), switch to purchasing renewable power for at least three months
This item was in progress and is now complete. Yay for renewable power! My roommate and I didn't even notice anything extra on the bill (to be fair, we worked to reduce out power consumption, so that probably helped). It was a simple little thing we did to make a difference.
That's it for this month. But I'll be working on more! I'll also be posting my last ten goals soon.
Tally:
-2 in progress for 6 total in progress
3 more completed for 21 total completed
