Thirty by 30

Seeing as I am 24 in about 2 months time, I didn't think that 14 months was long enough to do all the things on my list with everything thats going on, and theres some that I have already completed so I'll be including some but not others! So I'm changing my list all together because I don't really like some of the ones that were on the old list haha.

So here goes nothing...

1. Graduate with a Distinction
2. Complete FLEC certificate
3. Specialise in ICU/A&E or Surgery (haven't quite decided yet)
4. Write a research paper
5. Complete a certificate in counselling
6. Buy a house
7. Further my AUSLAN study
8. Learn a language (Russian or French)
9. Read 200 books
10. Read the OT and NT of the bible
11. Read all the books on my shelf!
12. Own all the F.R.I.E.N.D.S dvds (almost there, only need seasons 3 and 4 to complete my collection!)
13. Travel to the UK
14. Travel around Australia
15. Use up all my left over wool!
16. Make a Quilt!
17. Buy a sewing machine for said Quilt
18. Develop my own pattern
19. Make enough scarves and beanies to open a stall at a market!
20. Develop a craft storage system that works! (cue pinterest)
21. Give up chocolate/fast food for a whole year!
22. Run 10km
23. Run 10km in 60 minutes
24. Own a Garmin GPS watch
25. Blog every day for a month
26. Get better at meal planning and cooking at home!
27. Improve cooking skills, incorporate some vegetarian dishes (need recipes for that one!)
28. Be more disciplined/on top of house and uni work!

Not doing too bad, 6 out of 25 is getting there. Once I get closer to 25, which is still a couple years away, I may change it to 30byThirty, I already know of one that I could add to that list that isn't on this one!!! Any guesses what that is??? Hint: my sister's about to be one again!

To Do

Well, I love writing lists... I know it's weird but I can't help myself, it provides a way to put all my thoughts, goal and wishes on to paper, and I also love to cross them out, makes me feel more proactive.

So my sister on her blog kyliepurtell.com has a 'Thirty by 30' list, whereby she has made a collection of 30 goals, both long and short term, for her too complete by the time she is thirty, which is only a few months away.

As I am 8 years younger then she, I think thirty by 30 would be a bit too far in the future for me, I'd like to keep it realistic and achievable, so being 21 already approaching my 22nd, I'm thinking I may do a '25 by 25'.

This should sound easy but it's rather hard to think of 25 things I would like to achieve, but I shall dig deep and develop some easy and long term goals I think are achievable.

I shall upload the list once it's completed so that everybody can keep me accountable and make sure I'm on track to achieving my goals!!!
