# 30: See Something at the Sydney Opera House

I thought about doing this one a lot back in Canada. I went to Australia when I was 9 with my family and distinctly remember a lot of the trip ... which for me is special because I forget everything. One part was going to see the Opera House. Only from the outside, but I still remember attempting to climb the walls. I always really wanted to go in and watch something.

So since I am currently residing in Sydney, I knew that I would eventually attend a performance, and last night I did.

In the first week that I got here my brother and I were walking around doing tourist things and decided to go to the Opera House to see what was on. He told me the only way he was going to see an opera was if Bocelli was singing .... surprisingly he wasn't. A Midsummer Night's Dream was on though so I convinced him, eventually, to buy tickets.

It was such a great experience. I've been to countless concerts in my life, opera is something else! How anyones voice can do that is so amazing. It was a good production, directed by Baz Luhrmann (so great), it was moving, funny, emotional.

I am so happy I had the opportunity to do this and am hoping to go back to the Opera House again soon ...

# 43: Destroy A TV Set

So tonight I destroyed a TV set (sorry to the residents that this gave a heart attack to)

The noise was SO loud ... we were going to take a picture of the damage but I got scared and ran away.

But it was still there the next night so ... here's the damage.

I have to say it was quite the rush

#19: Help Someone In A Life Changing Way

This one is particularly special to me because I am so devastated with the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti. Today is January 22, which means that today is the Hope For Haiti Now telethon. Sitting and watching all the destruction and devastation for 3 hours (and crying the whole way through) was enough to convince me that I had to help somehow ... So I donated to the Canadian website www.canadaforhaiti.com. All proceeds go to help rebuild Haiti, and the Canadian government will match your donation dollar for dollar. I am positive that what I contributed will help someone, or many people, in a life changing way. I am really happy to have crossed this off my list with this cause.

#99: Write A List Of 100 Things To Do Before I Die

The first thing I checked off my list.
I actually own a book of 101 things to do before I die, but it wasn't personal and I couldn't complete it even if I wanted to.
Thus .... I sat down and came up with 100 things that I want to do in my life.
If I can complete even 50% of what I wrote down I would feel accomplished.
Fingers crossed I will get through more than that.

1 down.
99 to go.
