How I did it
How to learn to ride a bicycle
It took me
1 week
It made me
proud

How I did it: At 22 i believed i just couldnt ride a bike but my housemates were convinced they could teach me before they left. So they forced me through bribery and encouragment to get on a bike. Of course i was very nervous but i was very suprised (as they were) just how quickly i mastered the basics. On day one i managed to go a couple of meters by myself before crashing into a post and then on day two this increased hugely and i was riding properl… Read how I did it…

be more active in politics
re-energized 5 months ago

I’d kind of forgotten about this goal untill two days ago a far right nationalist and very racist party (the BNP) got some seats here in the European elections. Now i remember that I need to feel part of the fight against such horrible groups, time to take this goal more seriously

do more art
Untitled 8 months ago

I’d completly forgotten about this goal, well to be honest i’d forgotten about most of my goals and have been concentrating on my uni work, until my birthday that was.
My housemates gave me a whole load of art supplies for my birthday, a sketch pad, charcoals, pastels, acrylics, brushes, pencils etc all for me to mess around with so thats what i’ve been doing.
It’s just the greatest coincidence as i havent drawn anything really since i was 14 (just turned 22) and hadn’t told them that i wanted to start, it’s just as i like doing some crafting they thought i’d quite like to have a play with some art, good idea!
