Disappointment, no LASIK today. I was told during my first evaluation that I had scarring on my cornea, but it would not interfere with the laser. I was all prepped and ready to go today, but my corneal scratches prevented the computer from taking accurate measurements. The doctor got nervous and canceled the procedure until I see a corneal specialist and get a green light from him. What a drag. Corneal specialist on Tuesday.

I think so. When they talk you can hear a little bit of a Canadian accent in there.

1. This is my first post in a VERY long time. Hello board.

2. I was looking over my list and I've only completed one other thing since creating it (see Spoon live)... sad sad sad.

I still need to make one. Maybe one of them will be to sometime get organized and stop being a procrastinator. Or maybe it should be a resolution...

Juli! I'm great thanks for asking, how's Argentina? We should really keep on up on our little House fan club we've got going. I always enjoyed talking about it with you and Kayte.

Argentina is ok, thanks. Yes, we should. In Argentina we're a little behind though, so you've seen episodes I haven't seen yet.

Interesting! I didn't remember if I had a list or not, but reading this thread I found one.
I've done hardly anything on the list, it's very sad.

I Came in Through the Bathroom Window wrote:

In no particular order:

1. Graduate from Uni (if I finish next year it'll be perfect). I'm seriously working on it. I've got four classes left (the end is so near I'm feeling nostalgic already!) and five exams. I'll take three before mid December and two next February. And then I'll be a Sociologist. So Feb 2010 it is.
2. Go to Europe. Again, seriously working on it, saving money and stuff. September/October 2010 I'll be there.
3. See Paul McCartney live (it will probably never happen).
4. Go to Puerto Madryn (see the whales) and travel around the Patagonia in general, includding the glaciers.
5. Go to Mexico and study the Mexican Revolution.
6. Go to the IguazĂș Waterfalls.
7. Meet Goosey and Almond. Maybe in Glasgow in October next year???
8. Be a good singer.
9. Be able to sing (well) in public. Not thaaat well, but I sang in public! And I'll do it again next month!
10. Learn Italian. Maybe next year when I'm uni-free. I have to decide between Italian and French.
11. Retake French.See #10.
12. Improve my English. Definitely next year. Cambridge Proficiency exam, here I come!
13. Learn to draw (trees and people).
14. See Travis live on a gig of their own (not as part of a festival).I don't think this will happen any time soon.
15. Be able to play piano and guitar.
16. Have a good job related to historical sociology (the stuff I like). Well, it's not a paid job, but I joined an amazing research project on the matter. Genocide and Memory studies. Amazing. It's my favouirte area and it's the best thing that could have happened to me on an academic level. Like a dream come true, really. Fantastic opportunity.
17. Move out or at least have a room of my own. I still share my room but we got it painted so at least it looks prettier?
18. Lose enough weight so I can wear all of my clothes again. Working on it. I've been on a diet for like three weeks now and lost 1 kilo so far. 9 to go. Lol.
19. Own a piano.
20.(Be able to) Get Ode To J. Smith in Argentina.Anne is my hero and made it happen last year. It wasn't "in Argentina", but I got it!!! And now they sell it in Argentina too. I should buy an extra copy.



I think my goals are still the same ones... I could add one:

21. Find a cool Masters (in Argentina or abroad) to do after my Uni-free year (2010). And if it involves a scholarship, even better.

Edit: Just thought of another one.

22. Get published in a refereed / peer reviewed journal/magazine (national or international).
^ This one's quite far-fetched but joining the research project gives you a lot of opportunities...



#4. I went to Ushuaia (for 4 days last weekend), the southernmost city in the world, saw a glacier. AMAZING CITY, AMAZING SCENERY, AMAZING PLACE. It's now one of my favourite places in the world.
I need to go to El Calafate and Puerto Madryn. And deffinitely I must come back to Ushuaia. Tierra del Fuego is too gorgeous to be true.

I just signed up for Italian lessons!!!! I'm supposed to start next week.
#10 here I come!!! :oD

#1 is very close to being achieved too.

#18. I lost 5 kilos, gained one and a half when I went on vacations (great, 1 and a half kilos in four days, lol). But still, I recovered 3 trousers that didn't fit before! And I'm very close to recovering two more. :o)

#22. I sent a paper for a cool Conference taking place later this year. I'm waiting to see if my paper is accepted so I can present it there or not.

I think I'm doing pretty well! Didn't realise I was achieving this much, it's a nice thing to know. Lol.
