Updated Bucket List
So, last time I said I was going to do a review of my lifetime goals... Of course, I have more lifetime goals than these no doubt, but at the moment, this is what is coming out of my head.
When I was 21, in a post from the 24th of May 2009, I wrote the following goals, and I have added my current comments in italics -
- Keep loving and being loved. Had a change in boyfriend, but am now loving and being loved more than ever, so, tick for that one! YAY!
- Help people, make people happy, and attempt to make the world shinier whatever I do. Hopefully managing this one, some days probably more than others
- Get at least a 2.2 in my biology degree (obviously higher would be nice, but a 2.2 wouldn't kill me) Done, tick!
- Get a job doing something I love and that is useful to society, e.g a nurse. Am indeed a registered nurse now! After lots of tough training, phew, and I love it!
- Go on to research, try find cures and treatments for various diseases. Still an ongoing thing, hoping to save up and do my masters in nursing research next year, do it whilst working
- Go to a Fairy Festival. Still not been... keeping my eyes out
- Take mum to the Ice Hotel and to see the Northern Lights. Grandad too if he wants to go. Still the plan, when I earn more money
- Take mum and grandad on a lovely holiday. They seriously deserve it. Also still the plan, when more money has been acquired
- Go to mount Kilimanjaro. Still the plan, may do it with this organisation I found where I also get to go volunteer as a nurse abroad for a while, whilst Justin volunteers as a doctor so we're in the same place together
- Visit every continent and learn shiny things. Again, still the plan
- Get a Volks doll from Japan in person, and acquire the two other Pullip dolls I have my eyes on. Can't even remember which two pullip dolls I had my eyes on at the time of original writing, but I still plan on eventually getting a Volks doll from Japan, and I am still collecting Pullips, so, half a tick?
- Learn to be fluent in many languages, including German, Japanese, Russian, and Italian. Have now decided that the first three languages on my list are French, British Sign Language and topping up on German, but still can only speak English... no tick...
- Read all the stuff I want to read. ... Well, this is not very realistic, I don't think it's possible, but I keep trying, so, tick for effort?
- Have children. Would still very much like children, but not yet! My mother keeps wondering when she's going to be a grandma, I say not 'til i'm at least 28...
- Earn enough money that I don't have to worry too much about money. Seem to be keeping afloat. Still over a thousand pounds in my overdraft but when my first pay check comes through eventually I should start to see positive numbers in my balance...
- Be Happy. Always ;)
I'd like to add that I managed to eat Macarons from Laduree in Paris, and visit Disneyland which were two of my life goals I hadn't written down, yay! I feel somewhat accomplished. Hehe.
I'd also like to write a book. Whether or not it's a publishable book is another matter. And I want to do these things with Justin by my side, he's the most important thing to me now, even if it does make me sound like a soppy romantic girl. Shush. If you ask, I shall deny writing anything this soppy in the public domain.
So, not doing too bad really. I shall re-review next year. I'd write a longer list, but then it gets a bit hectic, i'll keep the rest of the list in my head, those will do for now.
Anyone else got a list?
I hope you are all well.
Be Happy!
