To watch the vlog for this blog look here:
The whole idea behind this was based on a challenge from Blade376 on Youtube to make specific goals that should be able to be completed over the next year. Below is some more information about most of the successes and failures on my goals list....
1)Buy a world map and color code pin it for where I've been and where I want to go.
FAIL.... Still something I am interested in, but just not something that happened.
2)Clean up my Facebook page.
SUCCESS.... I spent about 4 hours deleting people I didn't know, organizing my friends into categories, setting privacy setting and removing applications I don't use anymore.
3) Do something positive I never would have dreamed of.
SUCCESS... One day at a rez party I ended up taking care of a drunk guy who had come with a group celebrating a birthday (his friends seemed to be preoccupied with other things). We have since become actually good friends!
4)Make a box of letters for people to open if/when I die.
FAIL.... This became really important to me when a vehicle I was supposed to be in was hit by a drunk driver when I was 15 years old, and killed three of my close friends. Knowing that none of them had gotten the chance to say goodbye to their families or friends, I have always wanted to write letters just in case. This not being something I wanted to rush, it just didn't happen this year.
5)Have my first legal Canadian drink.
FAIL.... As explained in the video, this goal was badly made and was impossible to succeed at.
6)Dye my hair a random colour.
SUCCESS... My hair has been pink, purple, red, blue, a normaler red, brown and black. I think that this one was pretty covered.
7)Get a tattoo or piercing beyond my basic ear.
FAIL.... Instead I bought a bass guitar and put money towards text books.
8)Get a manicure.
SUCCESS... This was completed for my high school graduation.
9) Wear flip-flops for a whole day during the winter.
SUCCESS.... At my university, residence is attached to most classes by a tunnel system and therefore you don't always have to go outside.
10)Learn to play chords on the guitar.
SUCCESS.... This is something that I've been working on since October and have nearly figured out the basics.
11) Sing in public without taking myself too seriously.
SUCCESS.... YAH KARAOKE!
12) Buy or download an entire Wizard Rock CD.
SUCCESS.... I downloaded the entire discography of Harry and the Potters and the Parselmouths! (Check them both out, they are fantastic!)
13)Film an official dance video an upload it onto Youtube.
SUCCESS... This was completed twice and the videos can be found linked on the corresponding vlog.
14)Write a song I am proud of and perform it somewhere.
FAIL... Just hasn't happened yet.
15)Graduate from high school.
SUCCESS!
16)Recertify in CPR.
FAIL!
17)Captain a Relay for Life team.
FAIL.... As I was out of town, it didn't work out this year
18)Start a Prayer Journal.
FAIL.... At the time this was an idea I was really interested in, and it just so turns out that now I am not...
19) Eat by candlelight.
SUCCESS.... Candles made a simple meal with my grad escort a romantic evening, which lead to things going too quickly and our close friendship breaking up.... as I mentioned in the video, not something I want to talk about.
20) Colour an entire colouring book.
FAIL... Started but not completed
21) Throw a really random theme party.
FAIL... Just hasn't happened
22)Get Professional photos of myself taken.
SUCCESS... I did this for graduation and had a lot of fun. I had the owner of the company take my photos, and she seemed to think that I was adorable and all sorts of random... then I fell off the stool :P
23)Leave an anonymous post-it note in a borrowed book or school book.
SUCCESS.... Senior Chemistry text book
24)Get 50 Youtube subscribers.
SUCCESS... I actually got 120!
25)Post over 100 videos on Youtube.
SUCCESS... This video was number 125!
26) Visit somewhere new.
SUCCESS... I visited Philly, Halifax and a couple small local towns I'd never been too before
27)Take all my characters and write them a story.
FAIL... After looking back at the characters I realized that they didn't really fit in the same story and were really not good enough to base a story on... this is not something I'm ever planning on completing with those particular characters.
28) Go Iceskating.
FAIL.... Whether it was because of weather, friends not owning ice skates or basic laziness, this just didn't happen though I still want it too.
29) Learn to cook something.
SUCCESS.... While cooking is still not my forte, I have managed to learn how to make couscous and squash as well as a few other things (Like Bryce's Cup Cake!)
30) Write Something in French that isn't for school.
FAIL.... Just hasn't come up I guess
SO I succeeded at 57% of my goals.... though many of the uncompleted goals I would not make today... Check back tomorrow for the goals I have made for the year 2011.
Lotsa Love
Debbie
