I have from today, August 2, 2010, until April 29, 2013 to complete my goals.
I originally started a list last October, but so much has changed that I feel I need a new list so I can actually achieve my goals. In October I was still is Library school, so full of hope and so full of spirit that I KNEW what was going to happen and I was happy. Not to say I am not happy now, but I am definitely NOT where I thought I would be. I just think that God has a different plan for me that is not my plan. But that means it is a better plan and I just need to wait. I will try my best, work hard, have fun and let life take me on the path I need to travel. So now, without further suspense….my new 101 in 1001 list is here!
