Laying it all out...

I feel like I should lay out my general plans here on my blog so it makes me more accountable for following through (even if, I suspect, nobody will be reading this but me). I'm currently taking some web design courses, so I'll be able to lay my blog out how I want it within a couple of months as well. Checklist? Yes, please!

So, here it is, my journey:

• Quit my job at Starbucks
• Follow through on Physical Therapy
• Start swimming at least twice a week
• Be able to walk normal distances without use of a cane
• Start taping my kneecap and using the gym
• Get a desk job (my very first!)
• Finish my semester of Web Design courses
• Dreamweaver
• CSS
• Web Commerce Applications
• Take on more responsibility with Creativity Unboxed
• Have my first solo design project
• Obtain my CELTA (edit: Cert TESOL isn't available in the US, currently)
• Study for (and pass) entrance exam
• Save up enough money
• Take 4-week intensive course
• Find a job teaching English in France
• Current options for residence are Toulouse, Paris, and Lyon
• Obtain a work visa
• Find a place of residence in France
• Move to France
• Take classes at Le Cordon Bleu

Seems a bit lofty and oversimplified once I have it all written down, but I'm determined to make this work. And, see?, I already have my first item crossed off!
