..in your life. Things you want to accomplish. Make a list.

In no particular order, here's some of mine:

-Become a pediatrician
-Find true love
-Own a golden retreiver
-Go skydiving
-Ace an exam
-Have a perfect above 90 degree arabesque in ballet. Perfect my foutee turns.
-Learn to speak another language...FLUENTLY (unlike my sad grasp of Italian, Slovenian, and French)
-Visit Paris...visit each continent (excluding Antarctica)
-Meet a celebrity
-Learn a new instrument
-Write something worth reading
-Be happy. Legitimately happy
-Do what I can to make sure my brother, sister, and friends lead happy lives
-Throw a hissy fit, have an arguement with my boss, yell "I quit" and storm out of the office. Have people admire me for it
-Have someone look up to me
-Adopt a senior citizen
-Move to Australia for a year
-Meet U2 (*sigh*)
-Take a huge risk
-Teach ballet...teach children in general
-Find a pair of knee-high boots that actually fit me

...and more.

Whats a Saskatchewan? Some kind of animal?

No doubt an incredibly dull and flat animal which never does anything exiting. Much like a manitoba beast.
