Hopes and Dreams

Eventually I want to create separate pages within this blog for various topics like history, current events, and just general niftiness but I'm currently not sure how to do that. For now, I'll just post everything in the general discussion section. That being said...

Hopes and Dreams
I just wanted to share with you all a few nifty places on the web that may be of interest.

*43things- I am totally addicted to this site!!! The purpose of 43things is to make a list of 43 (or less) things that you want to accomplish. It can range from cleaning your room to becoming famous to creating your own secret language. I have found that it has really helped me to prioritize my goals and to work to complete the things that I want to do. It's really awesome; check it out!

*NaNoWriMo- Have you ever had the dream to be a writer? I always thought that it would be cool. Well, November is national novel writing month and this particular site (see link) challenges people of all ages from around the world to write a novel in a month. I think I'm going to attempt it this year. Want to join me? It's supposed to be a lot of fun and all about actually writing something, not necessarily writing something that will be part of Oprah's book club!
