Update 10.2010

My classes are going well. I am in four journalism classes, which I enjoy or at least try really hard to. I also have a night History class, which I do not enjoy much at all, but I'm learning a lot.

Tomorrow is a big day for me.

At 10:08 I will boarding a flight to Santa Barbara to visit Kailey VanderBaan. My visits with her have become something I cherish and look forward to. Fortunately they haven't been to sparse the past three years either.

I enroll for Spring Semester tomorrow. With graduation is three semesters away, my class selection is getting smaller and my decision-making is more pertinent to graduate.

Happy Halloween everyone! Please send me pictures of all of your costumes! But don't send any candy - I'm trying to cut back.

100 Day Series

There are 100 days until my 21st Birthday.

Should I or Should I not do another 100 Day countdown series?

My thought is: Yes. But what I ask myself. I do not know. Thus, I ask you, my small but wonderful blog readership audience: What should my next 100 Day countdown series include? Tell me Tell me!*

**Please submit ideas soon because it will quickly become more like an 80 Day countdown series.

Bucket List #122 and #119

Bucket List #122 : Surprise Someone

I surprised Alex with two tickets to a Cubs Game at Wrigley Field.

Alex has been a Cubs fan for as long as he can remember, yet had never been to Wrigley - one of the best baseball fields in the World. Alex would argue it is the best. So when he and I decided to head up to Chicago for a weekend in May, I knew I had to get him to a game. I did. I bought two tickets online without telling him. The hardest part of all of this was not telling him. Some said I should wait until I got to Chicago to tell him, but with that weeks away, I knew I couldn't contain my excitement. On a Friday night he took me out for a wonderful romantic date. At the end of the evening, I pulled out two tickets for the Cubs vs. Pirates.

His face was priceless.

I had never seen someone that happy and truly surprised. It was glorious. I successfully surprised Alex last May. It was one of the best feelings I've ever had.

Bucket List #119: Cheer on the Cubs at Wrigley Field

On May 16, 2010 Alex and I went to our first Cubs game at Wrigley. We had a great time at the game. I loved being there with him. Alex loves baseball and is incredibly knowledgeable about it. The Cubs game is the best baseball memory I've ever had.

Bucket List: #139 Have a Job I Love

Bucket List: #139 Have a Job I Love

I have been watching Livia a few days a week for nine months now. With my busy schedule and hectic life at college, going over to hang out with Lil' Liv is exactly what I need. I started when she was only three months old. In less than a month she will celebrate her first birthday. I have seen her grow from a baby with not too many tricks up her sleeve to a lil' lady who pulls herself up and thinks she can crawl faster than I can run - sometimes she's right. She still falls asleep in my arm and steals my heart every time I hear her belly laugh. I am happy to say that I have a job I love.

South Korea

New obsession: South Korea.

I've been reading up on it and I think it is time to go. Anyone feeling adventurous?

See beyond Seoul, South Korea.

We could road trip Korea.

It's beautiful.

We can teach English there.

Some say S. Korea is the second best place to teach English in.

KU Football

One of the main reasons I love KU: Football Season.

Waving the Wheat. Yelling provanity in the crowd.
Standing up proud and tall for the Crimson and Blue. Go KU!

We will call the first game of the season the upset of the season.
They set the bar pretty low for the entirety of the season.
But our team came out strong against Georgia Tech this past Saturday.
