The list so far......

After a relatively shitty day at work, I decided to cheer myself up by starting my list. This is mostly just stuff off the top of my head. A lot of this is doable in a year, some will take time. This isn't all there is to it. This more like a beginning.
Things to do before I turn 30
1. Get my Master's and become a LCSw(This is my dream. I want to counsel families)
2. Be able to run a mile and a half in 10 minutes
3. Belly Dance at a recital
4. Write and publish a book
5. Resolve my finances
6. Fall in Love
7. Vacation in Hawaii
8. Learn to Speak Spanish fluently
9. Learn Sign Language
10. Learn to speak French fluently
11. Learn to speak Japanese semi-fluently(lol, I'm just better at Latin based languages for some reason)
12. Become proficient in kickboxing(I really want to learn how to protect myself and kick ass)
13.Become a rape crisis counselor
14. Volunteer at a domestic violence shelter
15. Run in a charity 3k(Preferably Susan B Koman)

Ccchanges

Hello to the world, this is your rather erstwhile blogger Mm back again after a long time. I joined the Air Force, went through the hell that is basic and the semi-hell of tech school and I'm at my permanent duty station in MD. I don't live too far from D.C. For a while I thought about abandoning this blog and just giving up on writing in general. With the passing of my 26th birthday a couple of months ago, I've been feeling extremely restless. I've missed blogging. I've missed being able to put out my whole hopes and dreams and fears for everyone to see. Releasing all of this has always given me this some sort of relief.
As my life has seemed to take a drastic change, this blog will reflect it. The reason for the changes actually started a few days ago when I was talking with a good friend who is also my coworker. She espoused on her life and talked about her regrets. Listening to her got me thinking about my own life and my own regrets. There is so much I want to do and see but I've always been too shy or too afraid of what others would think of me to actually go out and do the damn thing.
So I've decided that I'm going to make an list of things I want to do before I reach thirty. When I was younger I always thought that when you turn thirty your life was basically over. Now, however, I consider it another turn in the kooky phase that is life. I chose the year I turn thirty because 1. It gives me enough time to actually achieve some of my goals relatively realistically and 2. I just like the number 30(yes, that is a stupid reason in fact just refer to the first reason and ignore this one).
I have quite a bit of goals to set for myself and I actually plan on sticking to the list. One of the things I was taught in school was how to make the broad goals and eventually generalize them into actual achievable objectives, which I will be working on. Right now, I'm just trying to make my list. So Stay Tuned.
