Join the Peace Corps (read all 2 entries…)
Untitled 2 months ago

I’ve been teaching now for several years, have a life here, a house, loans/bills/mortgage, and all these are going to get in the way of this goal. That’s OK though. I’m still happy with the way things are unfolding.



Add a waterfall to my pond (read all 2 entries…)
Untitled 2 months ago

So I have come to realize that this goal will never happen. I have moved out of my parents’ house several years ago and bought my own place, which is a condo, so I can not build my own pond. Oh well. I guess it’s out of my control.



Donate platelets more often. (read all 3 entries…)
Untitled 2 years ago

Well I have donated over 3 gallons of platelets since February (which I find gross because I imagine it in milk jugs). The staff members all know me on a first name basis and I actually started pressing buttons on the machine (not with to their approval), the last time I visited. I have been going weekly or bi weekly, excluding two months where I had a second job. I think it is now safe to cross this off my list. I will continue going as I have been, and already have next week’s appointment scheduled.
