Doing the I'm Possible

I'm going to be honest I haven't really felt like I can take on everything I am trying to lately. I am worried I am being too serious about my future to really enjoy the right now.

The right now: it's 9am and I still haven't slept. What a pointless all-nighter. Maybe I can pass on the blame to the double-shot of espresso I slipped into my vanilla cappacino last night. Maybe, and more likely, it's because of the anxiety I need to get over-- it's been getting worse even though people keep telling me it'll all work out in the end.

It's a new year!

 Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't posted for a while (I know a whole week- wow!) I thought it was important to take a little break from academics after a paticularly challenging semester-- and it's the holidays, gotta spend time partying with family and friends. The party isn't over.

I know it is cheesy to say but I'm feeling really good about this new year. I am a bit of an optimist, if you haven't noticed. I am ready to own this year!

My goals

I'm a pretty ambitious person, with oh-so-serious goals. I'm hoping to knock off some of these things within my lifetime:

1. Be an ex-pat (live and work abroad)
   
2. Have a pet dingo
3. Go to every continent (yes that includes Antarctica) 
4. Climb the Great Wall of China
5. Have a house with a rooftop patio and throw parties 
6. Leave clues for a treasure hunt around a city
7. Have an exchange student stay with me
8. Make a toast at an important event
9. Wear an edible outfit (think Lady Gaga)
10. Have my name on a building (I hope they can spell Zakrzewski)
11. Complete a 365-day challenge
12. Bike cross-country
    
13. Win a contest (I'm feeling lucky)
14. Invent a food or drink and have it on special at a bar/restaurant
15. Own a winery
16. Read a book a day
17. Plan a wedding
18. Be an honorary guest at an event
19. Climb Mt. Everest
20. Jump down buildings in Dubai

That's only some of what I'm going to do. So excited for life and what it throws my way!

Cheers!
