30 Before 30 Update

So, it's been a fairly unproductive year since I last updated this list. Fail. I have a feeling this list is going to become my "30 before 40" list also. Oh well. I could blame it on the most time-consuming school year I've had since my first year of teaching, or a plethora of other things, but I'll just say- I clearly don't take enough time for myself and the little pleasures in life. Maybe I should add that to the list?! :)

30 before 30
