I started this year out with a long list of things I wanted to do before I graduate. To hopefully make reporting easier, I cut the list down to five different activities that I wanted to complete. Out of those five, I only finished two.

A big factor that contributed to my inability finish more of my goals was my job. I typically work between four and six days a week, and depending on the day my shifts last between six and eight hours.

The two fall activities I got to complete were getting lost in the mountains and producing an assembly. Technically I made apple pie for Thanksgiving, which would fall under making a fall treat, but I have no evidence of it (editor’s note: It was delicious).

Even though I didn’t complete a majority of my fall activities, I’m going to continue making a list. Having a list of activities that I want to do, forces me to get out and do things when I would normally sit at home and watch a movie. I like knowing that when I’m not busy there are things I can do, that I want to do, without having to go out and plan very much or spend more than a few dollars.
