to do before you die...

Nachdem mir vor lauter Müdigkeit und Langeweile beim Lesen eines Dossiers über die Kindesentwicklung (eigentlich ja sehr spannend, aber warum müssen Menschen die schlau sind, das dann immer noch in einer unglaublich hochgestochenen Sprache allen anderen Menschen, die etwas von ihnen lernrn möchten, zeigen....?!?) habe ich auf Tanja's Blog (http://tanjasfairytale.blogspot.com/) diese Liste gefunden und wollte sie gleich für mich auch einmal ausfüllen...

i'll think i gonna fix this list somewhere in my room.. During tha last days i was always thinking how little i have achieved and that i'll never achieve something big.. I have been stuck in my own live the last few weeks, not knowing what I want to do and what I expect from my own and people around me, a terribly confusing feeling and I hate it...
I'll try to motivate myself by watching this list, watching the "dones" and the exclamation marks.. things to achieve...

Thanks Tanja ;)
