27 Things Before 28

Official goals for year 27!  Some of these are spill overs from what I didn't get done last year, some of them are brand new!  I wasn't able to come up with something super specific for every single thing, but I hope to make them more S.M.A.R.T as I go along.  I've also found at the end of the year last year that have a deadline made it a lot easier to remember to get things done and stay motivated.  I am going to see if I can plan a little better this year to maybe set some benchmarks earlier in the year, making it easier to work through things in the winter and avoid piling things up for the summer.
  1. Get passport & travel to Canada
  2. Take a dance class (not ballet)
  3. Find a new doctor
  4. Make a short film
