Although I’m halfway through this goal it is deserving of it’s place in my list as I have begun and given up on this book before. Having passed the halfway mark I feel home free, but there are still 150 pages to go. So close yet so far.

How I did it: I had always wanted to go skydiving. As my 18th birthday approached my mother asked me what I wanted. My answer... to go skydiving. A phone call and a few weeks later I was exiting a plane. Read how I did it…
This year I have written a dozen or so essays and one 15,000 word thesis. I handed in the thesis – the last thing to hand in – about a fortnight ago and am now just waiting for my marks. Thus far I’ve done really well, but the month-long, if not longer, wait for my final overall results is really frustrating. I’m so anxious.
I’m not sure how but my room is just clean. It’s not as if somebody wandered into my room and cleaned it, but rather that I’ve just developed better and more tidier habits. Hadn’t realised this until I was revising my 43Things list and realised that this just isn’t an issue for me any more. Job well done.
