Here are some things I need to/want to do before I leave on my mission. More specifically, these are things that I bet you had no idea I wanted to do (listed in order of could possibly happen to no way is this ever going to happen):
-Two words: Dance Party!
- Chew as much Shaun White gum as possible. Because it is the best gum ever. Partly because it tastes delicious. Mostly because it has Shaun White on the front.
- Watch this video and videos like it ad nauseum.
Love Divine Comedy videos. And this one's a keeper. I mean, dance party in the Testing Center? Awesome.
- See War Horse the movie. I need to see it. Need to.
- Watch the last episode of BBC's Sherlock. Again, needs to happen.
- Use as many italics as I can.
- Go to Divine Comedy's January show.
- Make chocolate croissants.
-Find Narnia in my closet.
- Learn how to speak whale.
- Learn how to speak Russian-whale. Because I bet that's what narwhals speak. And possibly beluga whales. And who wouldn't want to talk with a baby beluga whale?
- Find an open field and start singing, "The hills are alive with the sound of music!"
- While I'm at it, find a retired, widower Naval officer with 7 children and teach them the joy of music.
- Finish those novels I've been working on recently. (And yes, finding that Naval officer with 7 children is far more likely than finishing these novels.)
- Get an appendectomy. Just kidding. Well, kinda. I don't want to go through surgery three weeks before I go into the MTC. But one of my worst nightmares is having to go through surgery in a foreign country. So let's just pray that I don't get appendicitis. Ever. But especially while I'm on my mission.
-Grow all my hair back before I leave. Guys, I chopped it all off. And it's so weird. I miss my hair!!!!!
. . . also, I just realized that I am a pre-mi now. I always associated that nickname with 18-year-old boys who decided that the milk chug challenge was the best idea since Call of Duty. But I'm a pre-mission girl now. Weird. Hopefully I'm more mature than most eighteen-year-old boys. But with some of the things on my pre-mission bucketlist, maybe I'm not as mature as I hope.
I know so man people in that video...including the main guy. BUT HOW COOL WOULD IT HAVE BEEN TO FILM THE DANCE PARTY IN THE TESTING CENTER???
ReplyDeleteI KNOW!!!! It would have been BEYOND cool!!!
ReplyDeleteI really like how Narnia comes before singing in an open field in the list of likelihood :)
ReplyDeleteSarah, finding Narnia can totally happen! (Even though - don't tell Megan! - Narnia's not actually real.) But we did find it once. Could happen again. ;)

ReplyDeleteI kind of need to see War Horse too, but only because Benedict Cumberbatch is in it. He's so funny-looking.
What a great bucket list! That is a fabulous idea!
ReplyDelete(I will pray that you don't need an appendectomy in Ukraine because that would be awful...)
