Before I’m Thirty

I’m going to make a list of things I want to do before I turn 30.  I appreciate that there’s no reason to dread turning 30 so much as just adding another year to my vita, but hey, why not make a list anyways!

I’m also going to make this into a tab on my site so that I may add to it, and mark off anything I accomplish (or delete anything I realize is a bit too lofty).

Don’t judge some of my items (even though I, myself, am)!  I must do what makes me happy, and not base it off of what other people expect from me.

OK.  Here goes!

• Start my next summer with no incompletes
• Work through the げんき (genki) II Japanese book and workbook
• cook at least one item from each of my cookbooks
• Read through book 1 and 3 of １０分で読めるお話 (stories that can be read in 10 minutes)
• Get to 165 pounds
• Go hiking
• Go fishing
• Go horseback riding
• Fly a kite
• Camp
• Make S’mores
• Attend the 2010 NCPH (National Council on Public History) Conference in Portland, OR
• Go to an anime convention as event staff (the best way to go solo!)
• Get memberships to different Public History/Museum groups
• Have a 3.5 GPA (I wish, but hey, I’ll put it here anyways!)
• Make my own udon or soba noodles
• Set up my restaurant (kitchen bar with menu and seats…it will ROCK)
• Cook with vegetables I grew
• Sign up for the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) level 2
• Go to Atlanta
• Go to Washington, D.C.
• Go to Las Vegas
• Choose my bad-ass internship, then GET IT!
• Continue going to the gym for the duration of my contract (that’s a year, folks)
• Get 1,000 comments on my site (over 900 so far!)

These sound like a nice little bit to start with.  I’ll add more here and there, expecially if I finish a lot of them soon.  Because I’m so awesome like that.
