43. be a docent in an art museum – I doubt this will happen this year, and my goals have kind of changed….

I’ve had these goals forever so I won’t call them Resolutions, but this as close as I’m getting to NYR’s. The ones that look the most iffy are the conversion one, completing “the book”, and the docent one. If I make progress on those I will consider being able to check this goal off though, because I’ve had these goals for so long and I haven’t done anything towards them. So, any improvement will be nice for me.
