I went to lunch today with a student I had my very first year of teaching and her Mom. I love, love, love this young lady. She's so much like me, only more brave, more out there, more creative, more. More in general. She loves the things I love, and I just can't help but smile when I spend time with her and her mother. Anyway, we started talking about something and the term bucket list came up. It's the second time this week I've heard the term, and it got me thinking. What things would make my bucket list? So, I made a mental list, but a few items in I realized I was thinking too small - as in buying a home and getting married/having kids small. I've tried to push all of that out of my mind, and I'm actually starting myself a bucket list. Here it is ...
1. Travel the world. Specifically - Italy, Greece, France, England, Ireland, Scotland, Australia
2. Sing inside Westminster Abbey
3. Visit the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC and/or historical Holocaust sites in Europe
4. Live for a year in a big city (New York, San Fransisco, London, Seattle)
5. Meet Chris Crutcher
6. Get published
7. Learn to play an instrument - probably piano
8. Own a piece of the yellow brick road
It's hard to come up with these things, but pretty fun to imagine them. I'm going to have to revisit this list. I'm liking it!
I have started one as well. I can't list them all out to you right at the moment, but one I def. remember is on my list - watch baby turtles hatch on a beach. I always thought that would be SO COOL. There are websites you can go on where you can go on vacation to see it happen. Awesome.
