Not Really a Bucket List

Lately I have felt like I should be learning more than I do. Maybe it’s because I’ve been a student for my whole life and the reality of not being in school is finally setting in. I feel like I use 3% of the 10% we get to use of our brains. There are so many countries to study, history to know, art to love, people to observe, facts to memorize, politics to follow, friends to meet, God’s word to know, new places to travel, languages to learn, and professions to establish. Below are some things I want to do before I go and see Jesus. (In no particular order).


Travel Europe



Go to Hawaii again



Visit Scott, Sarah, Josiah, and Annika in Papua New Guinea



Learn a 2nd language (preferably Spanish)



See Turkey (one of Josh's favorite places)



Have beh-behs



Take lots of art classes



Draw more often



Find a job that I love
Set Designer (?)



Costume Designer (?)



Be an extra in a movie



Go to Ashley Lake in Montana and stay at Josh's Grandpa's house



Go to NYC again



Visit the South



Own a 4Runner



Have a porch



Learn to play the cello (or at least touch one)


If you feel like doing this yourself and coming up with your own "Not Really a Bucket List" please go ahead and then let me know so I can see it!

Rereading this it looks like Shan is a prophet.

Do you like to read? If you want to keep learning, I recommend reading "love and economics" by Jennifer Roback Morse.
