In general terms, I am motivated desire to try new things and keep my life interesting. My "things to do before I die" list is merely a reflection of that. I have no real plan for doing all these things, I just kind of go with what's available at the time and mark it off later. Sometimes I even add and mark off things retrospectively, since sometimes the best experiences are the ones that just don't occur to you until you've had them. If life seems especially boring or stressful, sometimes I'll look at the list and ask myself, "is there anything on here that I can do in my current location with my current resources?"
Recently, that question has led me to do two things I have developed an interest in doing. First, last week a bought a beginner knitting kit and some other materials, part of which came in today. Yesterday, kind of on a whim, I bought an Ibanez beginner's acoustic guitar set on eBay. Hopefully, it's decent enough for me to learn on and get a better one if I decide to pursue it any further.
On another note, I am FREE from my undergrad career! I will go from first generation college student to first generation college GRADUATE in less than 48 hours!
Update 11/15/10: I still have not learned to knit well or play guitar at all. I am notoriously bad at accumulating unfinished projects. I am very much an idea person.
