1) I wanted to move to Russia and get a job with Intel, despite having no educational training in that field (yet) and/or knowing Russian.

2) violin lessons, was hoping i'd be a prodigy.

3) Stayed up copying scripture out of the Bible, hoping to capture the most important parts in my notebook. Made it through Genesis (ch. 1) - religious mania.

4) Autobiography, wasn't very good, didn't make it far.

I usually just over-reach and plan a zillion things for my future, and when i crash, i end up picking up the pieces.
