Moving forward with a purpose

It seems like I have a million and one things going through my head all at once this week. I am really excited about being a part of the UBBT as a student member, I just keep thinking wow, I can't believe I'm really doing this. This is exactly what I need right now, in my life and my training.
Already some of the things I thought would be the easy parts are the hard parts, like the random acts of kindness. It really makes you pay attention to the people and situations around you. I knew the push ups would be hard, and they are. My back and shoulders are actually more sore than my arms. I did the warm up for the kids class Monday night and we did a big stretch up and down to sweep the ground, I think I made a weird noise and almost didn't make it back up again. The blogging is also tough, I'm not very good at putting my thoughts into words, hopefully this part will get easier.
Well, I am really looking forward to the challenge of the the next 13 months, I started a little late, so I'll have to do some catch up, and some of my requirements aren't completely thought out yet but so far here they are:

weekly journalling
meditation daily
profile 10 living heroes
organize or be involved in 5 community projects
10 personal victories
50 000 push ups and sit ups
1000 reps of kempo 1000 reps of a mix of my other forms
1000 rounds of sparring
1000 miles (1610 km)
100 hours ju jitsu
5 public testing performances
1000 acts of kindness
right 3 wrongs
mend 3 relationships
empathy training 1 day mute 1 day blind 1 day in a wheelchair
read 12 books
complete a 90 lesson french program to attain intermediate level french

So, here I go.
