About

***I've updated my goals, due to a really great opportunity. I will be joining my husband for study abroad, something we've been busting ass to make happen over the last six months. Basically, two things changed. I'll be in ITALY around the great Wong update, and I'll be learning ITALIAN. Antarctica and French are still in the game plan, but they will have to wait until a later date.***

ORIGINAL GOALS
Welcome to my record of doing and making. This all started from an article on Cracked.com. It was a total wake up call. 

By this time next year, I will be posting from Antarctica*. It's not a skill, it's a goal - maybe one I can't achieve. But it is a totally badass goal and I'm going to run at it full speed. 

In the meantime:
1. Learn Ruby and work on a team project so I can get a (better) job.
2. Learn to play my guitar instead of just looking at it longingly.
3. Learn some basic French*.

And most importantly:
4. Stop being so negative. I'm not going to say I hate doing things anymore - I'm just going to do them. Cross-country skiing, hiking, working out, meditation, sewing, writing, making art and all of the other stuff that I do well and maintain that I hate doing, I'm going to just DO. I'm going to be a better version of myself, because happiness takes effort, and we should all just DO SOMETHING. Saying I hate doing things is just shorthand for "That's hard and I'm lazy". No more.

Not only will I be working on these goals, I'll be doing something awesome everyday - The Daily Awesome. I'm a creative person who forgot the joy of making things. So, I'm going to make. And I'm going to do. And you all get to read about it here. 

Thanks, Wong. I owe you one.
