Let's go

I realized today, to an extent, the futility of excuses. I either am or I am not. I either do or I do not. I either learn or I don't. I have the ability to choose, to make the most of my abilities and talents, or not. So I think I will post a list of what I would like to do and to learn.
To learn:
Sewing. I don't have the faintest idea when it comes to sewing. I think it would be a valuable skill to learn.
Physics. I think as an individual, my education in the realm of science and math is seriously lacking.
Calculus and beyond. Math is everywhere. I shouldn't always be trying to avoid it. I am not too stupid to learn it, if anything, what I lack is discipline. So to calculus it is.
Chemistry- see above comment.
Gardening and plant care.
Biology- life is amazing! Yet I know so little about how it works. How does a cell function? What is the roll of DNA or RNA?
Cooking. I am going to have to eat for the rest of my life. I may as well learn to make food that is tasty and nutritious
Spanish- What I know means nothing if I am not able to communicate and apply it. A growing portion of the population of the United States speaks Spanish
Greek- It would be amazing to be able to read the New Testament in Greek
To play the organ- it's the primary instrument for Church music.
Music theory- I love classical music, it would be great to learn how it works. I've tried in the past, but lacked the discipline.
Cleaning- How can I make a space visually appealing? I believe that environment impacts behavior. How can I create spaces that promote the behaviors I seek?
Church History- One of the things we are told to do is remember. How can we remember what we do not know?
To do:
Start getting up at four in the morning. There would be so much more time in the day.
Go to bed at 10:30. Otherwise four in the morning will not go so well.
Be able to run a mile in 10:00- not very fast I know, but I've never been good at running
Be a size 6. I'm not sure anything smaller than that would be good for my 5'9 self.
Serve 100 hours in 1 year.
Go back to school by January 2011
