Bucket List

So, it's been a while since I posted, I know. College life has been, well, busy!! Not to say I'm not enjoying it, I really am, I've just been insanely busy. A lot of conversations I've had with friends over the past month and a half I've been here, have been about bucket lists. I personally don't have a bucket list, yet. So I've decided to sit here, while I impatiently wait for Castle to come on tonight, and come up with a bucket list. Here goes nothing...

These are in no particular order

1. Attend Comic-Con

2. Visit Australia

3. Learn to speak Hebrew, fluently

4. Visit Israel

5. Fall madly in love

6. Meet at least two of the following people (Zachary Levi, Pauley Perrette, Michael Weatherly, Cote DePablo, Yvonne Strahovski, Nathan Fillion, Summer Glau, Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, Stana Katic, Bridget Regan)

7. Visit the Grand Canyon

8. Backpack through Europe

9. Take a cruise in the Caribbean

10. Go to Disney World

11. Become a Federal Agent in either the FBI or NCIS

12. Act in either a television show or movie

13. Adopt children from multiple countries around the world

14. Read ten "deep" classics

15. Attend at least three Broadway plays and three different operas, preferably attending all in New York.

This is all I have for now, I'll probably have more later, those will be added in subsequent blog posts.

Later,

Labor Day Weekend

So, tomorrow is Labor Day and the thing I'm most excited about is the fact I don't have Biology!!! :) Closely following though, is the fact that I get to spend the next 24+ hours with my dad's brother and his family, including one of my very best friends, my cousin Morgan!! Originally, they were going to stop by the school, pick me up, and take me out to lunch. Then they realized I was only an hour and half from where they are staying at Orange Beach, and that's how I ended up at the beach until tomorrow!

I love how the holiday's title, "Labor Day" is such an oxymoron. Labor means to work, but Labor Day is a day where most people don't work! I never did understand why that's the way it worked, of course, that didn't keep me from pulling the "but it's Labor Day" card when my dad wanted us to work outside. That's when he always pulled out the "Labor means work" card. I always hated working on holidays when he was home, especially when we had to do school!!!

I definitely had a great day yesterday, doing absolutely nothing, except watching NCIS, ALL DAY LONG!!! I'm serious!! I'm trying to watch all 8 seasons before September 20th so that I can start watching the new season with everyone else. So far, I'm on episode 10 of the third season, meaning I'm moving along pretty fast, I started watching last Friday!

Not sure what exactly we're doing tomorrow, but I'm sure it'll be fun!! Once I get back to the dorm though, it'll be a homework session that'll probably last most of the night :(. Of course, if I finish earlier than I expect to, that'll be okay!!!

I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their Labor Day weekend and the start of their shortened school/work week!!

Until next time,
