Check THAT off the list!

I know, I suck at blogging. Sorry folks. :) It's so funny to me to look back at the posts I've made and think about how far I've come since then. In November of 2011 I made a list of things I've always wanted to do. And you know what? I've made some progress! Check it out!

•   Pay off my student loans (I know, lame)  - Not even close to this yet, ha ha. Too bad.

•   Get a passport (Not sure where I wanna go yet though) - In progress! I started gathering all the stuff to do this a little bit ago. 

•   Have a family of my own - Ha ha ha ha ha. *Cough* Nope.

•   Legally buy a lottery ticket, some alcohol, and go gamble in a real casino! - Ok, so I haven't done the lottery ticket part, but I did everything else! 

•   Visit Coke World and M&M world in Las Vegas. - Did this on Spring Break 2012!

I can't find any pictures of Coke or M&M's. My bad! Instead here's me and Becky on the giant shoe in the cosmopolitan hotel. 

•   Swim in the Ocean. (How is it even possible that I have seen both the Atlantic and Pacific and never been in either?!) - Haven't even seen the ocean since then. Ha. I'll get there eventually!

•   Meet a famous musician backstage. (Prefereably Taylor Swift because we have the same name or Will Pugh because I think he is beautiful, but I'm not picky.) - Well... Does knowing Larusso count?! :) I vote yes.

Pic I took of Mr. Nick Sasich of Larusso. :)

•   Play the big piano at FAO Schwarz - Plan to visit New York still eludes me. 

•   Sled down Old Main Hill - Check! Did this last winter for FHE. SO. MUCH. FUN.

•   Buy a nice camera (I don't wanna give a specific because by the time I can actually afford it, everything out there now will be outdated.) - Not enough $ yet... Maybe sometime soon.

•   Watch a sunset in Hawaii - Not enough $ for a trip to Hawaii yet either. HA!

So, on my bucket list of 11 things, I've accomplished 4 1/2 of them. I'd say that's pretty great progress in only a year and a few months! I've added a few things I want to accomplish too, the biggest being going to grad school. I never, NEVER, thought I would go to grad school. But the closer I get to graduation the more I realize I'm not quite ready to be done. I've decided I want to be a school counselor, preferably in a high school. I am a firm believer that we should all choose a career that has something about it that we are just PASSIONATE about. I doubt a lot of people know this, but I love our education system. I love my parents for living somewhere that I had so many educational choices. I loved my counselors going through middle and high school. This is my answer. Here is something that I can do, that I think I'll be good at, that I CARE about. Even though my "real" career goal is to be a FAM, (Freaking Awesome Mom), I want a career outside of that too. And I want to have the security of knowing that if I have to work, I won't dread going to work in the morning. I'll feel like I make an impact on people's lives. That I do some good! How awesome is that? Here's to accomplishing goals!

Messy Roommates

I am SO SICK of coming home to a messy apartment. I'm ready to punch people, literally. Why is it that it had to be me that picked up our apartment? I am on doctor's orders to "take it easy" and "stay off my knee". And one roommate was home ALL MORNING. With her stupid boyfriend that never leaves. And probably at least 60% of the mess was theirs. ESPECIALLY after we have had at least 5 conversations about needing to pick up after ourselves. AND after another roommate literally put the dirty nasty dishes on her bed. ON HER BED! How have they still not gotten the message? I don't know. But I'm done. Next time I come home to a messy apartment, none of my roommates are going to like the consequences, I promise. End rant.

This Sucks.

Well, it's official. I have mono. AGAIN. *sigh* :(

Why is everybody on a "Things I've Always Wanted To Do" kick?

Who knows! But if you can't beat 'em, you may as well join them. So here you go. This is definitely a work in progress.

Taco Tuesday!!!

Today is Tuesday. I love Tuesdays. You see, this means $1.50 tacos at Cafe Rio!!! WOOHOO! :D Best day of the week. Especially today because I get to go with Mikayla and Hannah and I quite like both of them. Happy Tuesday everybody!

Math is hard. I quit.

So, I know I'm terrible about keeping a blog. Sorry. Maybe eventually I'll get around to updating everyone on my life. But today, I need to vent. Many of you know that I was a math major until recently. Well, turns out that I don't like math. I liked math because it was easy to me in high school. But as the math classes get harder the more I realize that I don't like logic, I don't like mathematical reasoning. I think it's boring, and kind of irrelevant to my life. Now, a lot of people say I just don't like it anymore because it's harder now and I'm giving up. But no, it's not like that. I spend hours upon hours doing my math homework and studying for assignments and tests that more often than not, I barely pass, probably because the hold time I am studying I am bored to tears. So ya, it is discouraging. But I still try. I try to understand it and I don't and that makes me bitter and I don't enjoy it. So I give up. That's right, I'm throwing in the towel math. You win. Since I didn't want to waste all my credit I am still getting a math minor. Well, this is my last class in order to complete that. But the odds of me passing with at least a C- are not looking all that great. Wish me luck anyway. And if I don't pass I will truck through this stupid analysis class again and hopefully pass. But I don't want to because I hate math. There. I said it. Stupid math anyway...

EARTHFEST

I love concerts. They're just great. :D And I love going to concerts with my dearest Megan. Saturday Megan, Mason and I went to Earthfest 3 put on by Mix 107.9. It was great. Downtown Fiction made my day. They have a song called "Thanks For Nothing" Check it out, if it doesn't make you giggle, I don't know what will. Here's the pic!
