1. Get passport & travel to Canada - No Progress
2. Take a dance class (not ballet) PROGRESS!
I waited until the middle of the week to do this report precisely so I could brag about going to my first hip hop dance class! I signed up and then missed the first three classes because of bad planning on my part, but literally today I had my first class! I was not very good at it, but I definitely like the style and was surprised how much I improved in just one class. But it was a little intimidating that everyone else was catching onto the routines much faster than me. Just gotta take it as a reminder to focus on me and my improvement! Happily the class is actually being taught by the same instructor as my Balletone class so it was much less scary to start the class (and start it late) with an instructor I had taking a class with before.

7. Learn to do a Tarot reading - No Progress
8. Read 4 of these unfinished reads --- Story of B, Ode Less Traveled, Anna Karenina, Jim Henson: The Biography,
I'm slowly making my way through Bird Cloud. It's not a super fast read. And I also stupidly started another book that is a much faster read and it is tempting to just keep reading that one all the time. Also I've been a bit tired to get through too many pages in the evening (when I usually read).
9. Watch these 15 movies: Noah, Rush, The Apartment, Maleficent, Sweetie by Jane Campion, Hateship Loveship, Easy Rider, Dirty Dancing, Maidentrip, Laggies, Dear White People, Frida, Saving Mr. Banks, Carousel, Across the Universe - PROGRESS!
I watched Dear White People because I got really excited that it was on Netflix and watched it immediately. I really liked it, but I think some of it when over my head. I kinda want to watch it again!
10. Watch these 10 British movies/miniseries: The Riot Club, God Help the Girl, Pride, Calvary, Nowhere Boy, Birdsong, Parade's End, Archipelago, The Selfish Giant, Orlando - No Progress
As with #9, I've got to look up which of these are one Netflix.
