a lil checklist

I was cleaning my room when I chanced upon a pink 1/2 lengthwise sorta checklist. It was given to us by our INTACT facilitators, Nina and Gayle back in freshman year... I'm posting it here now, marking the stuff I was able to do with an "X". I'm also tagging those bloggers found on the righthand side of your screen to do the same. Our facilitator got it from Anima September 2000 issue. I edited it a little to fit our batch... =)
