#84 Introduce myself to 50 new people

No doubt I actually achieved this goal ages ago, because I have 4 units a semester and there are always new faces. I'm going to count me completing this as of January this year though, just to give it an actual finish date. I mainly added this goal to become more confident. Depending on the situation I am able to just be bold and introduce myself but there are still plenty of situations where I just freeze up and avoiding talking to people I don't know. Hopefully I'll get better at this as I get older.

Completed: January 2011

#82 Go on a Date


Finally went on a proper date. Sam took me to go and see TaikOz. It was seriously awesome. If you haven't seen Taiko drumming before...it is seriously entrancing. The people that were performing are seriously muscly. It is really cool...just take my word. If you have the opportunity to go and see it...go!

Goal completed: 18/11/10

#69 Dance in the Rain

One night at YSA Australia Day Camp this year, a group of us had gone down to the beach to relax and after a while it started raining. Rain doesn't really bother me but generally I don't like getting too wet and cold. This night I couldn't have cared less. I just started dancing in the street while it rained. I even came up with a rain dance...but fortunately that wasn't recorded :P

Goal completed: 23rd January 2011.

#59 Send Kat packages

Oh how I love this girl!
SERIOUSLY!
This is Kat. She is one of my closest friends. She is currently serving a mission for our church in Brisbane, Australia. She gets home VERY SOON!!! :D I am kinda sad that I lost the pictures from the packages I have sent her. Each one gets a lot of attention because snail mail is a serious business. You gotta put a lot of loving into what goes in so when that other person receives it they are HAPPY :D

Goal completed: 24 December 2011

#47 Make 3 Operation Christmas Child Boxes


I had seen videos like this before and I have made this boxes up before. I added this goal to my list as a way of giving back. I am kinda jealous of the family in this video because they get to see the little girl opening their box. I would really love to go and deliver these boxes one year. I just think it would be an amazing experience. Joy in life is so important...true joy.

To make it more meaningful I had 2 of the kids I babysit help me. They donated SOOO many of the items in the end. I was so grateful because I'm a bit tight on money at the moment. I ended up with 4 boxes, which was a bonus to help out that little bit more.


These are our boxes.

This goal was completed: 8th November 2010

#6 Go to Wineglass Bay


As a group of YSA we went to Wineglass Bay for a bush walk. It was pretty hard for me because I'm not very fit but I felt like I'd really achieved something by the end of it. Tasmania is such a beautiful place and it was no exception here. Such a beautiful beach!




Goal Completed: 5th February 2011

#65 Reread the Twilight Series



I really enjoy this series, HOWEVER I am NOT one of those psycho fans that are totally obsessed with them or the movies. I enjoy them, I don't OBSESS over them. Now that we're clear on that one...I mainly wanted to reread them because I enjoy them and it had been a long time since I'd last read them.

Goal completed: September 2010

#50 Recycle 1001 items



This made this goal as a starting point for trying to make a difference in the world. I rather like living on Earth and would rather that we as humans didn't slowly destroy it. I have recycle more than 1001 items, and now I am almost a Nazi recycler...but hey, I'm trying to do my little part to save this place.

This goal was completed May 2010.

#37 Make a New Friend



This is Amber. She and I are friends now. We both study Japanese. She puts up with my randomness. We do our 'cultural' assignments together and we are awesome.

This goal was completed February 2010.
