Progress Report - Part II

In yesterday's post, I pointed out all of the things I've managed to accomplish on my 101 in 1001 list to date.

It's hard to believe, but the timeframe to complete the list is quickly closing. I only have approximately 8 months left before the clock stops ticking.

Yes, I realize there is no possible way to complete everything left on the list. Some goals were just too lofty, while others could have been accomplished if I'd started working toward them just a little earlier (like running a half marathon).

But there are many things on this list that would be really easy to accomplish. And now that I am almost done with my graduate degree, there will be extra time to read, watch movies, and basically do whatever sounds good at the time!

So here are the items that have yet to be accomplished:

1. Lose 20 lbs 
2. Complete the C25K program 
3. Run a 10k 
4.  Run a half-marathon 
5. Run a marathon 
6. Climb a rock wall 
7. Go kayaking 
8. Find a dentist 
9. Complete the 30-Day Shred 
10. Take a Dave Ramsey course 
11. Write a personal mission statement 
12. Pay off my credit card balance 
13. Pay off my (undergraduate) student loans 
14. Establish an emergency fund of at least three months expenses 
15. Visit at least two more Presidential libraries (0/2) 
16. Go to the Wizard of Oz Museum 
17. Get a professional massage 
18. Sit on the patio and read a book 
19. Watch 10 movies on the AFI 100 list (2/100) 
20. Watch 10 of AFI’s Top 25 musicals (0/25) 
21. Send flowers to a friend just because 
22. Send a letter via snail mail to a friend 
23. Give Blood 
24. Present a paper at a conference 
25. Earn my graduate degree 
26. Read 75 books in one year (18/75) 
27. Read five classic novels that I haven’t read (0/5) 
28. Complete a jigsaw puzzle 
29. Learn and be able to identify at least three constellations 
30. Read a book of poetry 
31. Read a memoir or a biography 
32. Grow my own vegetables 
33. Get a professional photography session w/ Joe 
34. Send a Christmas card 
35. Fly in a hot hair balloon 
36. Fly a kite 
37. Buy an original piece of artwork 
38. Get a caricature of myself 
39. Go ice-skating 
40. Go sledding 
41. Get another piercing 
42. Build a snowman 
43. Make a gingerbread house 
44. Go through a corn maze 
45. Go on a brewery tour 
46. Get a tarot card reading 
47. Go camping 
48. See an I-MAX movie 
49. Learn all the lyrics to Ice Ice Baby 

Some are will be incredibly easy, some have lost my interest, and some will be practically impossible. But I'm looking forward to trying to best to tackle as many as possible in the 8 months remaining!

Here we gooooo!!!
