101 In 1001
I've decided that this list doesn't reflect my life any longer. There are so many things that are related to WVU and whatnot, and there's really no way that I can do many of these things anymore. I'll still keep this post around and I might make a new list eventually, but for now I'm not going to worry about it.
This idea comes from the community mission101. Basically, you make a list of 101 goals/tasks to be completed in 1001 days (which is about 2 years and 9 months, give or take a couple days). The goals must be specific and realistic. Since I already had this much shorter list of goals, I figured that a more extensive one would also be good.
I'm determined that 2010 (and all the years after, for that matter) will be a good year. 2008 and 2009 have sucked. 2010 will be an excellent time to reform myself and get a new start on everything.
