Z Goals

In one of my classes this semester we were talking about goals, and our teacher asked us to write down some goals that we have and label them A and B. These are the typical goals that everyone hears about and makes lists of every day, month and year. However, Z-goals (as it says in my textbook)

"are those extra "icing on the cake" kings of things, which make life interesting and sweet. If they don't happen, it is okay."

The nature of Z goals are those things which you do not expect to happen, but as I was doing the assignment, I found that it was really fun and interesting. So here are some of mine (and obviously I will add to them when I think of other things). The cutest thing though, I told Richard about this assignment and read some of them to him. After he heard them he was like "print me off those Z goals, because I want to make all of them come true." He is so cute. Obviously, there are a lot of outlandish things, but some are more attainable. Here they are:

So now that you all have seen my Z goals, I want to start a new tag! Every one of you who reads this (I won't do specific tags, because for some reason if people don't see their name, they wont do the tag), make a list of your own Z goals and put them on your blog! It is as if every single one of you have your name on the tag, so you better do it! Start dreaming... ;)
