A couple of my friends have been posting some really awesome blog posts lately and its made me realise that while I started out with the best of intentions and was getting over 1,000 views I haven't actually posted anything in over 2 months :/
Sorry!!!! I didn't mean to abandon my blog but to say that I've been busy recently is a MASSIVE understatement.
However, the good thing about being busy is that a lot of the things on this list are progressing nicely :) No point making a list and just glancing at it from time to time thinking 'I really want to do that' and just waiting for it to happen. If you want things to happen you have to MAKE them happen (although sometimes chance also has a part to play).
So just at a glance (click here for the full list if you can't find it!):
#14 - Plenty more exotic meats eaten :) ... really impressed by both goat and blesbok (a South African antelope), as well as ox heart, all of which I tried on a recent trip to London. I swear they get tastier each time.
#16 - Haven't quite gotten round to attending culinary school yet but I did get to test out my chef skills by participating in RockChef (where the prize was a week at culinary school). A blog post will follow on that soon but the show hasn't aired yet and I'm sworn to secrecy by my contract! That it was an amazing experience is all I can say for now.
#19 - I've sort of half written my blog post on my incredible Cancer Research charity trek through Peru. This one should follow shortly hopefully!
#25 - Part of the reason why I've been so busy is because I've been flooded with Masters degree deadlines. I need to submit my dissertation proposal in the next week or so ... so althought its tough I should be graduating in February 2014! Fingers crossed.
#28 - OK so I don't have over 100 subscribed followers on my blog, but I'm amazed by the number of blog views I've been getting ... especially from the US! Hi to any stateside readers.
#48 - I did organise a massive charity event for about 3000 people ... but again I still haven't got round to writing up this post!
#66 - Already enjoying the planning stages of our trip to Portugal to go to the Alive festival - Greenday and Kings of Leon ... yes please!! Also planning to go to some summer dance festivals too ... yep my music taste is just a tad eclectic, but I like it that way.
#77 - I will be adding some more European capitals to the list this year :) .. Prague, Bratislava, Torshavn and Copenhagen. Can't wait for my Busabout Eastern European adventure (I am aware that Denmark and the Faroe Islands are not in Eastern Europe, those are with work so I'm slightly less excited about those)
#131 - I'll be visiting Auschwitz on 16th June ... I think I'm gonna be a sobbing emotional wreck but somewhere I've always wanted to go.
#142 - Currently looking into a volunteering project for 2 weeks in Uganda for this winter. I sponsor a child there so always wanted to see what life for her is like. Really hoping it happens!
Sooooo basically, though I haven't had time to write anything up for a while .. stuff has been happening. And I'm sure this list will continue to grow as I think of more amazing experiences to add. There are still sooo many things that I need to make a start on if I'm ever gonna get all this stuff done ... unfortunately stuff like annual leave and bank balances gets in the way of some of them - but hey nothing is impossible!
