Life Checks: Adding to the list

I'm 40% though the existing life check list in 30% of the time. Since I think it's working for me, I'm going to add some more. While I like the, "by the time I'm 30" for the original 25, I like the five years better. So these are some of the ideas I'll be keeping in mind between now and 2017.

~~~

26. Listen to all of the SXSW download tracks during the calendar year I download them.

37. Fill out grownup documents. b) Keep documents updated. Fill out more as necessary.

38. Ask a woman to run for office

39. Submit an oped

40. Get published

41. Apply for dissertation year fellowships in the fall of 2012

42. Lead a swingout

43. Read a poem at open mic (or participate in a poetry slam)

44. Go to the opera (and stay for the entire show)

45. Use Victoria’s Secret coupons until I don’t run out of underwear

46. Mail a letter or card every week for three months

47. Buy something at the cafe across the street from me at least once a month

I'm telling you. We should be grad school accountability partners. Op Ed and fellowship applications. Booyah.

Or, um, trial research and course outline first. Current goal: send you (and Kendra and Julie) 3-5 pages for course outline every week.

Slow, but not sure how I'll ever make progress otherwise.

Sounds good to me!
