I know on Monday I said I'd maybe talk about Mr. Fireman today, but a)I don't quite know what I want to say yet because it has less to do with him & more to do with things I finally admitted out loud about myself & b)I realized on Tuesday that exactly 1 year from today my 2nd 101 in 1001 list will be complete...well my time will be up...the list definitely won't be finished ha.
I started this list a month into my first year of teaching & will be done with it about a month after my 3rd year of teaching is finished. Even as I type this my first year of teaching seems so long ago & I still have another year of my list to go...1001 days is a REALLY long time. So much changes in so many different aspects of life in that amount of time.
If you have a Day Zero Project account & care to follow me you may do so here.

Almost half of them haven't even been attempted yet...also, where did I think I was going to get all of this money/time to travel?! Europe, Canada, Mexico, NYC, DC, LA, & Philly. I definitely aimed high with those choices...23 year old me was also pretty optimistic on the love front apparently considering I hadn't even been on a single date in almost 2 years at that point.
You've done a good amount, though! These lists always scare me because like you said, it is such a long time that there's no way of knowing what would be realistic by the time it's done. And there are several on there you could still do!
ReplyDeletewhat a fabulous list! you've done so much, who cares about the things you haven't. things like love can't be rushed or put on a timeline, it'll happen when it will, and if it doesn't who cares. i have a bunch of travel on my list too, clearly i think i'm made of money and time ;)
ReplyDeleteI think that what you've accomplished so far is pretty impressive! You can always give yourself a time extension for the goals you haven't met yet. :) One of the things I wanted to do this year was to go to Costa Rica, but I don't think that is going to happen by December.
ReplyDeleteMan oh man, quite the list you have going! I've never heard of Day zero, may have to start one of my own :) Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteps. Came back and literally LOL'ing at #100 :)
