I'm doing 41 things
so after numerous discussions with my mother, i think what i’m going to end up doing is take a semester or more off from school next year and spend a prolonged period of time in new zealand, australia, fiji, hawaii, and who knows where else. that way i can fine tune my itinerary and i won’t be limited by time or season.

The last time I had my hair cut was in August of ‘07. It’s grown more than 3” in 6 months which isn’t so bad. I always get the urge to cut it all off though, which makes this very difficult to achieve. My goal is to let it grow as long as I can until I move back to Chicago at the end of the summer. Then I’ll be cutting it all off as a symbol of starting over again. Hopefully I can beat the heat :)
I’m close to having enough money to buy my plane ticket, which I think will solidify things a bit. Assuming prices don’t jump to ridiculous rates I’ll be able to afford it by mid March.
Hooray for actually getting things done!
