Megg's Mission: Update

Update

I read Catching Fire, by Suzanne Collins (amazing, by the way), which makes 2/101 books.
I have NOT used reusable cups every time I went to Starbucks, so that's out. I'll have to try again in Nov. or Dec.
I got my cap and gown and verified my name for my diploma, so everything's still on track to graduate!
I sent 10 postcards through postcrossing!
I bought the 7th Harry Potter book's British version, just waiting for it to come in the mail.
The Harry Potter book is the only book I've bought new since the beginning of October.

I think I'm well underway!
