In the process of cleaning out my life before I head off on the Appalachian Trail (more on that later), I came across a set of life goals I wrote when I was 18, almost a decade ago. I was pleasantly surprised that the general trend is still well aligned to what I care about.

So, here they are then:

Be happy
Fall in love
Obtain at least 3 unrelated degrees
Speak at least 5 languages
Be able to play Flight of the Bumblebee
Be involved in a professional show (musical?)
Hitchhike through Europe
Publish a book
Go into space
Find faith or belief
Be able to discuss classical art and music and literature
Obtain a foreign passport (British/Canadian)
