Tags:
- get a PhD - back on the list!
- Climb Kilimanjaro (since I saw the IMAX)
- attend a shuttle or rocket/satellite launch at Kennedy and possibly Edwards
- learn to kickbox - ongoing
- learn to play electric bass - well, it's not that different from string, so I really need to just own one and play it. (have not made any progress since 2004)
- work for the AAAS
- attend the Big Hair Ball in Houston
- learn some more formal hip hop dancing
- ride a mechanical bull
- Live in Texas again
- get married - eventually, but I've learned there's no rush (and thank goodness I did)
- teach - ongoing
- Get a Fulbright scholarship and study informal science education in other countries
- get a dog (now I have a cat, does that count?)
- have a saltwater aquarium
- work with Bill Nye, the Science Guy
- visit tons of places: Atlanta (went to a convention there, and it looks like any other big city), Seattle, Baltimore (well, I live here now), Wyoming, Idaho, Australia, Russia, Fiji, Chile, etc, etc, etc.... (haven't been to many new places recently, except Oregon and Arkansas, oh, and the Dominican Republic)
- learn various other languages - need to get back into this again
- learn the hustle
- learn the shag (the dance)
- learn to row (partly done), curl, and sail
- play bike polo
- Off the list in 2009:
- learn to row - always a process, but I'm well on my way
- learn to bellydance - I'm back into it, and now am working on ATS
- own a house by age 30 (ie summer '06)- passed this without buying 'cause housing was way too expensive
- learn the Atlanta Falcons' "Dirty birdy" touchdown dance (not sure I care about this one anymore or even if they do it)
- Things that have dropped off the list (by 2004):
- go to a drive-in movie - done
- get my Ph.D.
- have kids - now I'm unsure. Certainly glad I don't have any at the moment.
- go to another Ben Folds Five concert - this will be rather difficult as they have disbanded.
- get my B.S. - done
- own a car - done, though I wish it weren't. owning a car is a big hassle.
