Goals

I've been thinking about some personal goals that I want to achieve while I'm here, in addition to my actual service goals. Here they are, in no particular order:

1. Study for the GMAT and take the exam (May 2013, South Africa) so that I can apply to business school. DONE!
   
2. Learn how to carry a bucket of water on my head.
3. Be able to deliver a business presentation in English, French, and Malagasy.
4. Have someone call me “Malagasy fotsy” and/or have someone say that I am not a vazaha because I live in Madagascar and speak Malagasy. DONE!
5. Learn how to make awesome mofo balls (I’m hoping that my mofo lady will teach me!) DONE!
6. Find out how to get to the ocean from my town (it’s 10km away, but there isn’t really a road.) DONE! 
7. In-country travel goals:
