101 Things in 1001 Days Update

For those that don't know what the heck I'm talking about, read this link first and this one second. Now that you know why I made my list and what it is, I want to fill you in on my progress. 

I honestly hadn't thought about it specifically in a while (I originally wrote it in May of 2013), but I obviously want the things on this list done badly enough that I accomplished some of them without even remembering they were on the list. Not too shabby, eh?
