43 things update
I really like 43 Things, I find it a really handy way of keeping track of all the things I want to get done, both long and short term stuff. And it’s great that it’s more about the fun side of life than actual tasks, so it’s not really a ‘to do’ list, which is daunting and boring, but a ‘aims I want to achieve’ list, which is interesting and quirky.
Well, maybe quirky is the wrong word.
My current list has 27 items, I’ve just crossed two off:
1. Wear more skirts - I crossed this off because it is happening! I am wearing more skirts and dresses nowadays which I love, and also, when I go shopping, I purposefully look for skirts and dresses. I went away last weekend and I didn’t take a single pair of trousers with me (except pyjamas and they don’t count). So yay. Plus my new skirt rocks:
2. Learn Dutch - I crossed this off, not because I am fluent in it (ha I wish), but because I have crossed that line now of no return. Well, not ‘no return’. But I mean, I have come so far now that I couldn’t give up learning it, even if I wanted to! I now feel somewhat confident in it, when I talk to Nic or Joris on msn, our conversations are mainly in Dutch, they help me with my errors, and I learn from the way they write how to improve my own Dutch 
So yes, far from perfect, but I think when I go to Belgium I will be able to get around by myself all fine
Some of the things I have on 43 things are really life-long ambitions, like writing a book, living in france, get married, learning to play the piano (tho I’m hoping I can get a cheap keyboard when I go to uni and thus play all day/night instead of doing essays), but others are more short-term, including:
- watch all the DVDs I own but have never seen
- find the perfect pair of jeans (still looking!)
- grow my hair long (getting there :))
- fly a kite
- stay up all night talking

I want to add some more, I’ve never had a full list of 43 things! I’ll think about it tonight and maybe update tomorrow Night! x
