Sure I have lists, but I've actually found that sometimes the greatest things that happen to you are things you could have never imagined to put on a list in the first place!
1. Save a child's life (I have broad parameters on this so will accept many options)
2. Write dissertation, publish and get tenure before I die, kill myself or kill someone else
3. Win the Woodrow Wilson or the Guggenheim
4. Meet Laura Restrepo, Fazal Sheikh or Anne Patchett. I have a lot of questions for them
5. Found an organisation to fund long-term counseling for victims (child and adult) of domestic violence
6. Learn Romanian
7. Travel to Chile, China, Russia, Romania, Argentina and Antarctica and actually see them
Honestly, a few of these are a real stretch, but as L.M. Montgomery once wrote, "It wouldn't do for us to have all our dreams fulfilled. We would be as good as dead if we had nothing left to dream about."
