The Ultimate To-Do List turns "Goal Worthy"
None of these goals are in any particular order. The original order was what popped into my head at the time. Now the lists went through a makeover and have (slightly) matured as I have.
Attainable within the next year (sometime in whatever is left of 2010 to December 31, 2011):
- Maintain a GPA above 3.3 (CHECK)
- Snowboard or surf (whichever comes first)
- Graduate on May 13, 2011 (CHECK)
- Start a food fight
- Hang out with: Cabañas, Garcia-Serrano, or Tarnoff at some point during or after my college career (haha … I’m pretty sure I still owe Garcia-Serrano un café…) (CHECK)
- Drive to the Cape and back
- Actually send out postcards instead of buying them, buying the stamps, writing on them, and never sending them. (Sorry guys!) (FAIL)
- Learn a bit of French
- Better my Spanish (Ala!)
- Continue to practice Japanese (ちょっと）
General Life Goals:

- Go back to New Zealand.
- Payback my parents and all my college loans.
