Some where in the work avoidance of spending time in the computer labs at varsity I joined this website where you list 43 things you want out of your life. And you get to see who has similar goals as you and you get to encourage other users at any of their goals.
Anyway I happened to stumble across my own profile today. (I had completely forgotten about this)
Anyway here it is:

What actually made me feel pretty good was how many of these I have already achieved or partially achieved. It's not astonishingly many but quite a few. I have managed to complete a project report before it's due date. I managed to complete my engineering degree and I managed to go to Europe not once but twice (so far). I have a car and I think my parents are proud of me.
Feels good that Frankie of 2008 would be a little proud of Frankie.2010.
:) Perhaps time to set a few new replacement goals.
