MY list of things to do before I die, in no particular order
1) travel as much as possible
2) learn at least one other language and keep improving those that I already know
3) start exercising regularly
4) teach (at least for 4 years)
5) make a positive difference in the world
6) get a graduate degree
7) kiss someone I love under the mistletoe
8) get a dog
9) learn how to cook more edible food
10) find the right person, get married, start a family
11) read Mansfield Park
12) stay awake and watch all of the Macy's Thanksgving Day parade on tv
13) visit DC for at least a week and/or live there for a while
14) find and read every single Pratchett book
15) read all of the Trylogia in Polish (and not just skipping around this time)
16) read all of Pan Tadeusz in Polish
17) read all the Polish books in the house
18) take a higher level Polish state certification test (I'm certified at the Sredni Ogolny level, but they just introduced the one you need to take before studying in Polish in Poland--I'm not quite ready for the most advanced test)
19) finally learn how to knit (and remember how to!)
20) become CPR certified (I tried...but they cancelled :()
21) actually finish writing a story
22) actually celebrate an anniversary (they've happened before, but they were never celebrated)
23) live in Poland for a while
24) learn how to play guitar
25) join a church choir
I think I'll stop at 25--I could probably keep going, but that would mean that I would have less time to DO things rather than just dream.
