February 101 in 1001: A second non-update

This is an update for the point of updating.

Uni is an amazing new experience and is totally taking up 80% of my brainpower.

I'll go through my list and see what needs to be done this weekend.

Year In Review & The Year Ahead - 2019-2020

Here is my 2020 vision! (Muahahahaha everyone is so sick of that joke). Forgive the brevity, I'm writing with a splint. Well. Typing.

SCA


What have you done that is new?
I made an attempt at Viking garb. It's terrible and needs to be redone (also I shouldn't be calling it Viking garb) but I did it.

What was the best moment?
The atmosphere at the final Pencampwr was enjoyable.

What was the worst moment?
The ongoing argument over the ending of Pencampwr and the sorting out of how to proceed with holding an event during that space by the group.

Have you held an office this year? 
Nope

Have you run anything this year? 
Nope

Have you entered anything this year?
Nope

What have you made this year?
The apron dress and two under dresses. To be remade.

Who inspired me?
Ilaria and Konrad, for putting up with me (and their kids). If I wasn't still friends with Ilaria I'd probably never return to the SCA.

What new things would you like to do next year?
More garb. More embroidery. More A&S entries. More events. Give me more!

Everyday


What single achievement are you most proud of?
Passing UniReady and getting accepted into university!

What did you set out to accomplish this year that you didn't make happen?
I think I expected to be further into the Twitch/streaming lifestyle but it just turned out to be something that didn't speak to me. I'll still do it for fun but not looking to take it further.

What new places did you go in 2019?
No new places really - I did go to Bells Rapids Park which was new "local" place for me.

What new skills did you learn?
Academic writing, some algebra, communication skills for uni...

What was your favourite book?
I don't think I picked up any new books this year, I did reread my Tamora Pierce books again though, cementing them as my favourite books ever.

What was your favourite electronic game?
Hands down Stardew Valley. I've even got my sister playing as I gave it to her for Christmas!

What was your favourite non-electronic game?
We've just recently started playing Pandemic, a boardgame where you cooperate to cure four diseases across the world.

What was the best moment?
Getting accepted into University.

What was the worst moment?
The two weeks where I thought for sure I'd failed one of my units and was going to fail UniReady.

If you had to describe 2020 in three words, what would they be?
Educating, Thought provoking :P

2020


What do you want to see, discover, explore? Explore more places in Perth. Go on my SA trip to cage dive with sharks.

Who do you want to spend more time with? I would like to spend more time getting to know my family.

What skills do you want to learn, improve or master? Continue practicing my Danish. Get deeply involved with my university study.

Which habits do you want to change, cultivate or get rid of? Get rid of emotional eating.

What do you want to achieve career-wise? Moving to a data entry role at my current place so I can focus on study - I want to ensure all jobs have been updated in our system from before 2020. 

What is your number one goal for 2020? Passing uni with high grades.

101 in 1001: December 2019

Well hi guys!

...
....
...

I PASSED UNIREADY!

Pop the party poppers and guzzle the champagne!

I'm honestly so pleased - I even passed with scores higher than the lowest pass mark! I definitely want to do better in my course next year though. It was a very stressful few weeks waiting for results to come out and the moment they did was such a relief.

Also terrifying, because now I'm definitely going to university next year. Who would have thought that would ever happen?! Certainly not me.

The end of the year is fast approaching however, and with it another month of 101 in 1001 goes. I don't feel as though I've been dedicated with my list and, well, you'll see the results below.

		Goal		Comments
1		Finish my Games List (or at least 155 games, the original number)		In progress, but lets be honest we'll all be surprised if this happens.
2		Get a Sim family from Gen 1 to Gen 10		Still on Gen 1 with no babies in sight - but at least I have a partner!
3		Complete the Sims 4 Rags to Riches Challenge		Haven't begun yet.
4		Do a vegan runthrough of RimWorld where at least one colonist gets off the planet		Actually going pretty well - we're about halfway through the technology tree and pretty self sufficient.
5		Stream 100 times		I would have to stream nearly once every 8 days to complete this. Possible to do, but maybe not with everything else going on.
6		Replace my keyboard and mouse		Mouse has been replaced! Now just need to find a keyboard I like.

101 in 1001.... the billionth attempt

I love the idea of the 101 in 1001 list... but I've never been great at sticking through it for the full 2.75 years.
When I was younger it was because 2.75 years felt like such a long period of time.
Now that I'm older, I don't think it's enough time! There's lots of travel I'd like to do but I'm planning to be at university for the entirety of this list so I couldn't add much of that in.

So, here's to the billionth attempt at this thing.
