Things I Would Do If I Had the Time
(Note: Despite it being Monday, I’m in a generally good mood… so don’t take this post as some sort of depressive negativity overwhelmed rant…)
I, like a lot of other people, wish I had more free time. But, at the very least until I finsh my thesis (let’s not go there, shall we?) and get past September’s IEEE GOLD Congress, and knock off a few more “To-Dos” from my list, I probably won’t. But when I do get the time, there a number of things I’d like to do. I know a lot of them, reasonably won’t happen until I retire or something, unless I end up in a body-cast for some reason… but feel free to suggest other things!
- Learn to run without feeling like an idiot
- Watch all episodes, marathon-style, of “Scrubs”, “Farscape”, and “Sex and the City”
- Re-read “The Lord of the Rings” and “Harry Potter” books
- Read the books that I’ve bought but haven’t read yet
- Take the dogs on a long car ride followed by a good hike
- Camp more
- Learn to golf (or at least hit a golf bal somewhat consistently in a predicted direction farther than five feet)
- Learn to use the fancy-pants camera we have, more than just the pre-defined settings
- Walk around St. John’s and Mount Pearl and actually take pictures without feeling like an idiot or a tourist
- Take a conversational French course
- Drive to Gros Morne National Park and spend a week without contact
- Visit family I haven’t seen in a while
- Work on my family tree

What fun! And coincidentally, I actually put pen to paper last Friday and started my life goal list as well. I’ve only got 6 so far:
- learn Italian
- get a motorcycle license
- take a photography course (!)
- write a book
- visit Quebec
- learn archery
I think your list is attainable (where to get the time exactly I’m not sure). After I finish my CGA I’m going to take a french class. You can go with me ;)
Maybe you should put “Update my blog” on your list. :-P
(Oh, damn, I’m guilty of the same thing… never mind, then….)
