I wrote a “bucket list” for fall 2012 back in August, and will now give you an update on how’s going. I have to remind myself, it’s only in the middle of October, so I have plenty of time to finish the list before the year is up. The list looks like this:
Write
I still need to work on this part since I haven’t really been writing that much at all.
Learn more about photography and take more pics
This is something I’m working on. The first step is to not be lazy and leave the camera at home, and then rely on my love taking pictures (which she is great at). I’ve started to bring the camera (but still forgetting I have it with me). The next step is to remember it in my bag, take it out, and start taking pics. I’m getting there.
Sing and perform on a regular basis
Oh, yes. I’ve started singing in a choir once a week, and have planned gigs with the choir. I also have two gigs planned where I’m performing by myself or with another person/band. First is on “Local Heroes”, November 10th at 6 pm at the cafe Vetekornet in Norrköping. I will sing with a band, sing the solo when my aunt is playing the piano, and then play the guitar and sing with a friend. So much fun! The second performance is on December 9th during a church service at 11 am at Centrumkyrkan, Norrköping. Yeah. I can pretty much check this point.
Play the guitar more
I got a new awesome guitar (read about that here) from my parents, and have of course started playing more guitar after that. Check.
Read books
I can’t really find the right concentration for this point yet. So I gotta work on this.
Spend more time/be in more contact with friends
I’m trying and working hard on this. A lot of my friends in town have newborns or infants right now, which is not making it easier though. But I went to Nyköping last weekend, and the reunion with my former college friends.
Watch musicals
Check. Well I haven’t watch any, yet. But tickets are bought for the The Addams Family Musical here in town. We are also hopefully gonna see Dirty Dancing in Stockholm in the middle of November. So pretty much check.
Go to the movies
Gonna work on this some more, but I have seen the Palme movie. So I’ve been to the movies once. Far away from the numbers of movies we usually see in the movies..so I need to work on this some more.
SUMMARY
Out of eight different goals, I can check half of them. I’m working on two of the rest four, and need to focus on the last two – write and read. But as I said, it’s only October so I have plenty of time fulfilling the whole list.
