Anywho. 21 Before 21 is my way of doing New Years Resolutions. Some are more resolute-y than others, but the general idea is to get a bunch of stuff done throughout the year. Since I have a September birthday it's also a great way of setting goals for the school year. Well then, without further ado:
- Read the whole bible
- Go to a clothing swap
- Vote
- Create a Cookbook of Rachel
- Start and complete a knitting project
- Do a lead climb
- Go snowboarding with friends
- Go scuba diving
- Bake Bread
- Have a real sit-down dinner party
- Plant a mini herb garden
- Learn how to apply make-up
- 100 push-up challenge
- Improve my typing speed (I'm at around 60 wpm, and I think it's be really cool to get up to 80 or so)
- Dye my hair with Kool-Aid
- Go paint balling
- Get my fortune told
- Go for a month without looking in the mirror
- Skip class and go out to breakfast
- Go camping
- * <edit> Buy Christmas presents with money saved </edit>
The last one is an asterisk because I actually still don't know what it's going to be. No clue, which is a little irritating to me. Everything I think of is too simple or completely impossible. Maybe it should be a reading one, but I wouldn't know what book (to be honest, the "grown-up" section of the library scares me a bit).**
So, there's the list. I haven't really done anything yet other than start a bible reading plan that will get me through the whole thing (awesome). I have some recipes collected, some people in mind for a dinner party, and a connection to go diving, but other than that... Let's do this.
<edited to add>I'm adding "Buy Christmas presents for immediate family with money saved" to the list. In past years I've always gone to get Christmas presents for people with my parents and they they would pay for the gifts. This year I'm going to buy gifts for immediate family and some friends with my own money. I've already started looking, and it's turning out to be a little harder than I thought. But no matter, I'm pretty determined about this one.</edit>

it was great to see you last night! maybe your last "21 things" should be something you've already done, so you can cross it off right away :) how's that for self-esteem?
