After spending the better part of the last 5 hours planning this out, I'm in.

However, I am going to start a few days early, because I'm taking it a step further and attempting to do EVERY section. I don't know how well I'll do especially with starting a new job and college in August, but I'm going to attempt it.

First movie of the month is...

not to put more work on you, but if you wanted to, as people complete the levels of the challenge, they can let you know and you can add Bronze, Silver, etc.
