List update

I think I am going to make a few changes to the big list.

46. Print off favorite digital pictures taken to continue making photo albums
I think this one is kind of unnecessary and wasteful. I guess I imagine showing off all of these photo albums I have collected over the years to future kids or friends, but it's probably more likely that everyone will just see them on the web instead.

I now regret getting the cheap photo printer from Best Buy last Christmas. It's essentially junk and the photo quality is ok at best. I initially got it with the thought of saving money versus going to a pharmacy to print off pictures. However, it's quite more expensive because the pictures that a toner cartridge can actually print is much less than advertised. So I am going to replace it with whitewater rafting instead.

10. Apply for graduate school in Computer Engineering
I think I have finally decided against going back to school for pretty much anything. It would just be too much of a time commitment to go to school and work at the same time. I would like to be able to have a life and have fun for the next 4 years instead.

I also don't think it would help me in my career path right now anyway. I would eventually like to become a manager at the patent office, but getting a master's degree in computer engineering does nothing to help achieve that goal. So it's getting replaced with seeing 8 concerts.

I think the biggest goals I have trouble with are the ones that require constant attention. I still have yet to actually get myself to go volunteer somewhere. I am planning on volunteering at a Green Festival in DC, but that's on October 7th. I think I am just barely making the quota of blogging once a month. I just need more motivation to do these things I guess. It's probably a good thing I have a list, or otherwise some things I would never end up doing.
