accomplishments?

I kinda remembered sometime back I came up with a list of thing I wanted to do or get and the cost of each indivdual item. So I decided to go check up on that list to see what I've managed to accquire 2 months later.

-1 open water diving course $395+
-1 mountain bike plus accessories I aim to get in the future $1200+
-1 Fender American Series Stratocaster $1300
-1 Marshall Amp $500
-1 cross Europe backpacking trip $2000-3000+
-1 Radeon 9800 videocard so I can play Half Life 2 $600
-1 Accelerated Free Fall course $4000

That was the original list.
And so it seems that out of the 7 items on my little wish list, the only thing I did manage to accquire is the mountain bike, which I at least found a way not to have to fork $1200 bucks for. Come to think of it, I can cross out the video card too. I'm determined not to let some computer game take its hold on me again. So that leaves me....with....dammit... its still a frikkin whole lot of expensive shit.

I'll repeat my rant. How come I can't be some typical ACS boy and have a stupenduously rich dad who owns three quaters the world or something and who's more than willing to fund my gargantuan dreams with, well, gargantuan funds. For want of a better word.
