I&#8217;m not holding my breath on this one &#8211; I just think it would be cool.<\/p>\n<p>(2) My aunt Lora was a trucker, briefly, and I think it would be a really neat experience becoming very very familiar with the cities and roadways of an area. Plus there&#8217;s all that CB action.<\/p>\n<p>(3) I&#8217;m fascinated with sign language. It&#8217;s not that I don&#8217;t want to talk &#8211; I just want to augment my speaking with even more information jabbering out of my hands at the same time. The more I can express, the happier I am.<\/p>\n<p>(4) I keep missing the deadline for Teach for America. I still want to do it &#8211; I like the idea of a challenge like that &#8211; but I can&#8217;t complain about the library-track I&#8217;m on.<\/p>\n<p>(5) Speaking of, why I AM working on becoming a children&#8217;s librarian. In fact, I&#8217;ll be starting that whole process come August.<\/p>\n<p>(6) I still think I can cram a year of massage therapy courses into my life. I give gooooood back rubs, and I have a feeling I could be really good at massage therapy. Somehow, despite my other biology abilities, I did manage to learn most of the muscle names, and where they are. Of all of these goals, I think this might be one that comes to fruition.<\/p>\n<p>(7) I&#8217;m talking about Minnesota to the delta. Jason was like &#8220;I&#8217;ll canoe the Mississippi&#8221;, so maybe that could be the &#8220;yea, I finished grad school&#8221;, or &#8220;yea, it&#8217;s summer and I&#8217;m not going to take classes&#8221; plan. I suppose it depends on what my friend Em is doing then. She&#8217;s my canoe inspiration. I think my brother would want to go too. There might have to be several canoes.<\/p>\n<p>(8) I&#8217;ve just finished all the parts of level 1 for the Master Knitter program, so I&#8217;m on my way.<\/p>\n<p>(9) This one I can&#8217;t explain. When I was little, I was fascinated with Vermont and Maine. I had maps up in my bedroom. I&#8217;ve always wanted to live there, despite knowing little about either state.<\/p>\n<p>(10) I realize that sign language is a language. What I meant was &#8220;some other language, besides the above mentioned sign language&#8221;. I&#8217;m torn between Spanish, which would be horribly convenient; German, which I know a little but will serve very little purpose unless I&#8217;m actually in Germany or Argentina; or some random language like Esperanto, because it&#8217;s cool to learn an entirely new language.<\/p>\n<p>So there you go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in 2001, I put together a list of things I wanted to do during my life.
