Summer Bucket List

     I've tried doing a Summer Bucket List before, and it really only felt partially successful because the list grew and grew as the summer wore on. So, this year, I am planning - what I see as - much more "reachable" goals.

     - Projects:
          ~ Read as much as i can.
          ~ Write as much as i can.
          ~ Consolidate / clean out my college & home stuff. (project in progress)
          ~ Watch movies in certain series i have not seen yet*
          ~ Continue / catch up on blog posts from when i was in Europe. (Although they aren't finished yet and therefore not published, i did start some other posts! i am also hoping to continue writing posts this summer about my happenings. i think it is a good writing exercise for me to challenge myself to.)


     - Trips:
           ~ Cape Cod to see my college roommate, Bunky (looks like it might be the weekend before the 4th of July in order to celebrate her birthday!)
           ~ Albany to see my boyfriend and some of my townhousemates (Blogspot, you can underline this word in red, but it IS a word! i know. i use it all the time.)
           ~ up to Maine / the beach


     - Work:
           ~ Paid Internship (looking unpromising)
           ~ Paid job (probably up in Maine again this summer); the goal is to earn A.M.A.P. (As Much As Possible) in order to save up both for traveling this summer and next and - as Mom kindly pointed out - for while i am up at college this year. *sigh* The Travel Fund is looking like it will have insufficient funds for a while.
*NOW ACCEPTING DONATIONS*
     If you are looking to donate, please specify in the comments below. Thank You!


     - Girl's Nights**:
          ~ Splatter Paint day in the yard
          ~ Movie Night
          ~ theme nights (i wanna do some more theme nights! We did a 90s sleepover and all dressed in exaggeratedly 90s outfits with scrunchies, bucket hats, overalls, and awful geometrically-patterned Dad sweaters. It was a ton of fun!)


* This includes, but may not be limited to : Superhero series movies, including X-Men, Batman, and The Avengers series; Indiana Jones; James Bond; Star Wars (i know, shocker, right? Since i am such a dork that you would think i would have seen them by now. Yeah, not so much.)

**I do a lot of "events" i suppose you could say. i host parties, bonfires, dinners, etc. And, i have a group of girlfriends - altogether, 8 of us - who have been the Constants at those get-togethers. So, we have a Girls Group, and i have - since last summer - been especially enthusiastic about doing Girls Nights with them.

i am . . . a writer. In order to get published, generally, i just need other people to know that.
