By 24 I'm pretty sure my greatest accomplishment should not be moving out of my mom's house into my Aunt's basement... Sadly that is in fact the "biggest" change I've made since I was 18... I lead a more exciting life in high school.
I have this great love of talking about thing I want to do someday. Someday I'll go back to school, Someday I'll figure out what I want to do, Someday I'll diet, Someday I'll stop living vicariously through my facebook friends. Someday, Someday, Someday. But when exactly is someday?
Someday I want to backpack across Europe... Thats a someday I've been talking about for a long time and I kept waiting for the experience to fall in my lap. And when I had even the glimmer of the chance to do it making excuses for it not to happen "I don't have the money-time- anyone to go with..." "I'm scared-out of shape-clueless." "My mother will kill me and shes smart, she could get away with it."
Enough with the excuses! As a very wise woman pointed out to me recently I'm 24 I have a whole world of opportunity open for me I just need to open the door and step on through.
So here is the Plan- By July 2011 I need to:
1) Save up 11,000 dollars (that's 1,000 dollars a month... I can barely save 20 a week... )
2) Get in a shape other then Round (Get over dislike of walking and sweating)
3) Grow some balls! (Or at least learn to fake some)
4) Find a way to tell mother I am quitting job and running away to Europe for 3 months. (Notice how this comes after finding balls?)
So uh tune into my Journey?
