101 in 1001 List

101 in 1001 is a list of 101 things I hope to accomplish within 1001 days. This was inspired by seeing the lists my friends Kei and Rina had made, and also writing a similar (private) list a few years ago myself. Not everything I'd like to do is going on this list, as I prefer not to announce some things to the world, but this is more than enough! I'll add more as I think of them and any suggestions are also welcome. :)

  1. I would really love to help you with some of them!! (German-learning & the chess goal, mainly! As for chess, I do not remember much of it, other than possible moves of the single playing figures, but if you need any help, please let me know. It really doesn't bother me :)!)

    1. Thank you so much for the offer to help. :) With German, I will try to make myself able to speak/write in coherent sentences again first, but after that - expect some message in poorly written Deutsch, haha.

      As for chess, literally anything you can help with is appreciated because I don't remember anything anymore! >.>;
