I'm not really sure what the distinction is between my "bucket list" and my long-term goals, because to me I'm definitely doing all of these things. I guess it's really just a matter of lapsed time, or maybe that these are significantly less attainable at the moment than my other goals? Maybe "longer-term goals" would be a more appropriate title than bucket list? Because I don't really plan on going anywhere anytime soon. Gahh, I'm sure some of these are going to overlap. Whatever the case, here it is. :P
