Kim's little patch of space...

The title of this blog is the reason for its existance. Its a nice sunny patch of garden with a nice big tree with a swing to sit under and lots of sunflowers... As for its creator, she is a postgrad student who has a tendency to take life a bit too seriously. Currently she is on a journey of self discovery and has no idea where it will take her...she may well find the meaning of life.

Kim's To Do List...

This list will grow over time, but I'd thought I'd come up with the top 22 in my mind at the moment...

Kim's To Do List:

  1. Finish my PhD in ideally 3 years, realistically 4 years
  2. Finish my PhD with my sanity intact, and no regrets
  3. To learn how to dance
  4. Get fit (a work in progress)
  5. Read all the books on my "Books to read" list
  6. Watch all the movies on my "Movies to watch" list
  7. Do a car maintenance course
  8. Develop stress management techniques, or at the very least, realise when panicking and develop strategies to halt its progress (a crucial one I think!)
  9. Go on a road trip
  10. Watch a uni made theatre production
  11. Develop my emotional aspect of myself (it needs some work, its been sorely neglected)
  12. Overcome my phobia of skiing
  13. Go to a university organised ball
  14. Develop/explore some hobbies (if time can be found...)
  15. To try speed dating ever since I saw it on an episode on "Queer Eye For The Straight Guy"
  16. Develop strategies to not procrastinate as much...very important skill in a PhD lol
  17. To find the courage to "Seize the day" occasionally and remember to communicate assertively (or at the very least, remember the course I did!)
  18. On a nice sunny day, go cloud gazing (Haven't done that for years)
  19. To remember "Don't cry that its over, but smile because it happened" when something good comes to an end...
  20. To wake up when my alarm goes off, and not an hour later...
  21. To remember the quirkyalone philosophy...(I'm currently a quirkytogether)
  22. That this list will be reviewed and updated on a regular basis :)

Hmmm why do I think of that old rich banker in Mary Poppins flying a kite, when I try to picture Chris flying a kite...

I like the list by the way, I think it is a very good idea to be aware of your goals.
