I guess I'm making this list because I'm feeling inadequate in the "doing things" department. Maybe this is my 2010 list? New decade list?

• Go rollerblading more
• Get my dad's bike to fit me! (seemingly impossible)
• When I finally have a working bike, join a bike club.. maybe NYCC
• Take a fun class (maybe acting, kick boxing, salsa, yoga)
• Join a volunteering group
• Travel somewhere else to volunteer teaching English or anything I can help someone else learn... but really I would be learning from that experience
• Go to Rochester and visit Steph soon!
• Go to DC, Boston, and Philly for a day or two
• Write in my journal more
• Join a gym... after graduation

Sometimes when I'm feeling crazed... I slap myself in the face and realize that I'm very lucky.
