Weekly
Challenge: Let’s try a challenge where we abstain
from something. This requires just as
much discipline and motivation as our other challenges – maybe more. Starting
Monday, October 15th and lasting until Monday 8:30 a.m., October
22nd, abstain from all
non-school related games that involve electricity. If it’s electronic, don’t play it. If this doesn’t affect you in the least – add
this to it: No non-school related
computer activities – eg. skype, facebook.
