#23 crossed off the list!

I paid off my student loans today (WHEE!) so I figured it was a good time to do a quick 30 Before 30 update:

1. meet 30 new people I think I'm at about 20
   
2. read 30 (non-self help) books I'm at 10. This needs work.
   
3. watch 30 of the IMDB Top 250 films I haven't even looked at this. Whoops.
4. get married DONE!
   
5. travel outside the country DONE! Now I just need to upload the photos...
   
6. run a half marathon I've started training, but this one is pretty iffy at this point.
   
7. launch an Etsy shop I'm still brainstorming.
   
8. try 30 new foods If you count recipes, I'm probably close to done. If you only count ingredients, this one needs some work. I did try gator, though. That should count for at least 20 of the 30, right?
   
9. save $5000 (after IRA and retirement contributions) I'm pretty close, but I don't feel like I can cross this off until my actual birthday in case I get spendy.
   
10. volunteer at least 30 hours of my time I'm at about 2 hours. I really need to focus on this.
    
11. every 3 months, donate 30 items to Goodwill or Salvation Army So far, so good.
    
12. sell 30 items on Craigslist or Ebay I think we've sold about 10-12 items.
    
13. take a language class Does Greek count? I vote yes.
    
14. learn to sew
15. redo floors in living room DONE!
    
16. be able to do 30 military style push-ups
    
17. take a stand-up or improv class and perform in front of an audience DONE! I may do this one again.
    
18. try 30 new recipes If you count green smoothie recipes that I made up based on what I had in my refrigerator, I probably already tried 30 recipes. If you don't count those, I'm probably at around 10 or 15
    
19. go on a road trip
20. win a contest of some kind
    
21. take a dance class DONE!
