life plans revisited
This post was written a year ago:
I will not date anyone between now and december. in fact if they persue me i will run in the opposite direction.
i will spend this summer preparing for first the 20 mile suicide walk, and then the AIDs Marathon.
Also, the extra time that I will save by not persuing boys I will spend with friends, and writing letters/emails to folks outside of the bay area.
I will help Jennifer and Jace plan the best wedding ever.
I will also help Jennifer and Jace find the coolest house/apartment.
Asiya, Nina and myself will then find the coolest place for us to live.
Lead a Harvest of Hope weekend event in October.
Help the client advocate group at the Food Bank get started, and have them plan for next year's Hunger Action Day, so i can be state chair for the event (so I will have something amazing on my resume).
Get more involved in life; read more books, go to more events and hang out with new and different people (along with the old time favorites!)
convince Mel to move to SF
spend next summer abroad with llamas and small farms while learning spanish, or what ever the native tounge may be.
Things accomplished in that list:
not dating anyone from june - dec
succeeding in doing the overnight 20 miler and the marathon
i did get better at being more regular at calling some people, and did write my family more letters
jen and jace had a great wedding, their house is cool just not in a cool place
nina asi and i have an awesome apartment - as mel and guz can attest too
i led the hoh event in october
i was state chair for hunger action day, our advocacy group did get kicked up into high gear for h.a.d. and the leadership team is doing well.
i've definitely read more books, and am trying to get out more.
hanging out with a healthy diversity of people
mel is moving to sf (soon!!!!!!!)
i'm not going abroad to see llamas, but i am going to niger for two weeks in the fall as soon as my passport gets mailed back to me.
i'd say those goals were pretty successful, so for the next year i will:
get a new job, or rearrange my position at the food bank so that i am able to manage people
if still in california possibly become the state cochair of california hunger action coalition
take another spanish class
enjoy the two weeks in niger
go to my friend's weddings and be 100% happy for them and the life they are about to embark on with new mates (and not think about the money being spent on plane tickets, bridesmaid dresses, shoes, gifts etc.)
try to be in an adult relationship i.e. clear communication, perhaps even officially calling each other boyfriend/girlfriend
meet tadpole and see mama g-c :)
spend more time discovering the city
go to the gym
start a knitting group here at the food bank, or after hours.
that'll do it.
:)
hope you all are well - Bob good luck on everything :)
