Update, update! JUST in case you were wondering, as of today I've completed 43 of my 101 goals! Yessssss
That puts me pretty much at 43% (that extra 1 throws off the calculations, but it's just easier to do 43/100 = 43%). And it's been 495 days, which means 49% of my time has passed - almost half over (how the time flies!). So I'm a tad behind, but not much! I've got 3 more goals that are "read a book about" goals, and I actually have books that fit those, so I've dug them out and they're on my night stand waiting for me. I'm signing up for the Tour de Donut (which is on my birthday this year!) and that will be my 20-mile bike race, and the Wonder Woman (metric) Century is in September I think, which will be my 50-mile bike race. (I should probably get my bike from my parents' house one of these days.... *cough*). Also we signed up for the Disneyland Half Marathon, which will complete the "go to Disneyland" goal. :3
Also I changed one of my goals...I'm not sure which one, I think it was a traveling one. I just had a lot of traveling goals that I can't afford to cram into 3 years. :P I think it was "go to Denmark." Anyway, I changed it to "read the Harry Potter series" because, um, I haven't. I read the first four, long ago as they first came out. I thought they were fun, it's not like I didn't like them, but I wasn't way into them either and they got so long I stopped wanting to commit that sort of time to a series I just kind of enjoyed. Anyway, I'm not in school now and I read a ton for leisure, so I figure now would be a good time to try them out again. I got my parents' copy from their house yesterday so I am on my way with that.
I can't believe my 1001 days is almost half over. One of my friends, who made a list shortly after I did, made a new, overlapping list this year. But she was getting through her goals really fast, because she did pretty easy ones - I put some stuff I didn't imagine I'd end up doing, like the marathon, while she didn't put that on hers (even though she was running more than I was). So she made an overlapping one with "marathon" on it. Anyway, I was thinking about making another 101 at the halfway point, but I didn't realize it was coming up so soon! Maybe I should just change more of the goals to something else; I have a lot of "re-play [various video games]" goals that I don't think are going to happen; I'd have to unhook my PS3 and hook up my PS2 and switch back when I wanted to watch Netflix and I just don't think I'm going to do it. Though I'd leave FF6 on there, because it's my favorite and also I have it for the DS, if I can just find where I put it...
Anyway, so I've got about six days to the halfway point. Maybe I'll start trying to write out a list and see if I can reasonably come up with 101 more goals, or if I just end up with enough to replace some on my current list that are irrelevant - or impossible, like "get a puppy," since I can't have one in my apartment and there's not a move in the foreseeable future. I should probably replace that one. But I want a puppy so much. T__T
