25 by 25 list

My cousin and I used to make lists of things to do by a certain age. Well, I'm 25 in less than a year and a half now, so here's my updated list!

1. Start a blog, and update weekly (not sure when I can cross this off though?) [Decided this is complete, since I have two blogs now, one for a year and a half and one for almost a year.]
2. Get my Silver or Gold Duke of Edinburgh award [Update: I've submitted paperwork for my Gold, so we'll see!] Completed August 2013; awarded September 2014.
3. Go skydiving or bungee jumping. [We almost went hang gliding. Then someone died. I'm not sure when or if this will happen!]
4. Go to Nicaragua or Ecuador (or anywhere international) to volunteer. This almost happened.
5. Hike the West Coast Trail [We did a fantastic trip this summer. 4 nights!]
6. Get married.

7. Take a cooking class.
8. Get a dog. (I really hope this becomes possible.)
9. Take a photography course. [Took one in January with my sister.]
10. Go to NYC. Hm... I should start planning..
11. Get a drastic haircut.
12. Learn Italian (because two other Latin languages are just not enough) [I started, and withdrew. I really do not learn well with Rosetta Stone. However, I'm considering this done, because I tried, learned a few things, and let's face it.. with a language, learning is constant and never 'over'.]
13. Go skinny dipping. No idea why I've never done this.
14. Be comfortable with my body in a bikini.
15. Become a BIT, or preferably, an RPBio.  [As of last July, I'm a BIT! I won't be able to become a full-fledged RPBio until I'm about 26]
16. Read a Jane Austen book (preferably Sense and Sensibility ;) ) [Done. Took 6 months]
17. Learn how to decorate cakes/take a cake decorating class.
18. Hike to the Lions. [Seriously... I want to do this, but we haven't had much lkuck planning it for this summer. So, 2014]  Completed September 2014.
19. Canoe/kayak the Bowron Lakes chain. [Also 2014?]
20. Go to a spa (this probably doesn't seem like much.. but it's me). [Well. I've had *two* manicures, AND we went for a spa day for our anniversary.]
21. Sell some of my photos (I'm trying, I really am.. )  [Calling this complete, since I've got a photo in a book.]
22. Start dragonboating again.
23. Go on a trip with the group (Disneyland?)
24. Try a yoga class.
25. Buy a Mac. [Bought a new computer in the fall, so this isn't happening. I did buy an iPhone though..]
26. Do a chinup (R's suggestion)
