End of The Year

Remember When I wrote my 2011 Bucket List? Well here is my checkoff/update of it. Just so I can remember what I did this year, and see what I'll put on 2012's bucket list :) **note-- no judging for what I didn't accomplish! :)

2011 Bucket list

Go to Italy

X Get into the nursing program

X Dance in the rain

Learn Guitar (I started, really. But life happens.)

Or maybe Tennis

Run a 5k (I got to 2 miles, and if you know me, thats really good, but then second semester nursing happened. And that's rough.)

X Teach Emily to say “Auntie Megan”

X Jump in a GIANT rain puddle in my rain-boots

X Stop biting my nails (nervous habbit)

Swim in the Ocean

X Cook while I’m at college

X Fall in love (to be honest, this one started as a joke... don't tempt fate!)

Hike a Maple Mountain (Anyone else?)

X Read 3 books of “Literary Merit”

Road-trip with friends (I wish it could be to nowhere in particular, but X I like plans. And directions) (Does driving to and from Idaho count? No? Well I'm counting it anyways.)

Eat only raw vegan foods

And hamburgers

…Never mind about the whole raw vegan thing

Improve on piano

Stargaze in Montana

Fly a kite in a giant wheat field

Conquer my fear of driving in the snow (ha!)

X Die My Hair :)

Get engaged.

Kidding, that’s next years’ goal

So I got 9 things done... Thats pretty good right? Especially since Nursing became my life after I got accepted? Especially this last fall? I'm saying it's pretty good. Now I just need to figure out some things to do for next year.. So far I've got graduating, help deliver a baby, write more letters, and see Megan G get married. More ideas?

Half Way

So I've been trying to write a blog post for a while, but I just haven't been able to do it. Don't ask me why. So I'm just going to ramble for a bit, you don't need to feel the need to keep reading. 

My semester is over. Over. Over. I'm half way done with nursing, my focus of life right now is half way done. I'm in a weird melancholy mood right now, don't ask me why. I've been looking forward to this semester ending since it started, and its not like i'm sad that its over, i'm just, meh. I think I thought i'd feel a lot more fireworks at this moment, and I just don't. I'm hoping this is me just wanting to get home, and so once I get there, I'll feel the excitement I wanted. 

Last night felt more like my celebration. I got around 9 from the library, was getting ready to make some dinner and Nik (i'll give a real update/story on him soon) called me and asked me out on a date with him (cute, huh?) and so we went and got a real dinner, and then came home and just talked and cuddled. It was a good night, I don't like when they end.

I'm dying to go on a road trip. Anyone want to come? I think it would be so much fun to just pile in a car, grab a map (not a GPS) and just go. And have someone else pay for the gas. Just drive across the country. Go play at a beach, hike a mountain, and go to random museums. Or just go buy a plane ticket for somewhere completely random (but hopefully warm) and just sight see for a weekend. 

PS-- Merry Christmas in 10 Days :)
