It's scary how fast this year is passing me by, so I have made a list of everything I want to accomplish or experience by the end of this year. This was inspired by the '101 things in 1001 days' project, which you can find here. For me, making a list of things to do in 1001 days (2.75 years) just seems annoying because the due date is so arbitrary. So I have decided to make my Day Zero the last day of this year, 2009. I have about 7 months to complete everything. Having a shorter time span makes my goals a little less grand (not like 'get a graduate degree'), but perhaps a little more achievable? Little steps lead to big steps, right?
