Is it a bucket list if I'm imposing a three-year deadline?
Stuff I'd like to get done in the next 2-3 years, in order of feasibility, from most feasible to least feasible.
- Go to Europe (this is pretty much a given)
- Keep in touch with my HS and duke friends (also pretty much a given)
- Run the Wa Duke trail (2.9miles) in under 25min (current best time is 25:10)
- Eat wagyu beef/kobe steak ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobe_beef )
- Do 5 unassisted chin-ups (current is 2)
- Eat fugu ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugu )
- Have a pet dog (the only reason this is so far down on the list is because I might be too busy to have a dog)
- Run a road 5k in under 25min (current best time is 25:32)
- Get a 4.0 in one of my two remaining semesters
- Run the NJ marathon (May 2011?)
- Get >35 on MCATs
- Be an author (middle, unimportant author is fine) in published research
- Graduate from Duke Cum Laude
- Run the Beijing marathon (October 2011? It would be a dream come true to do this and have my grandparents and aunt/uncle/cousin cheer for me)
- Stop chewing gum compulsively (I am completely serious about this one)
