Things I'd Like to Do This Summer

Last Summer Memories - the Yee Mafia

I haven't had much free time since school started, so to keep myself motivated, I've started a list of things I'd like to do when this semester ends in the Spring and Summer begins!

(To be realistic, I probably won't be able to check everything off my list, but a girl can dream.)

1) Visit Mark in Taiwan and find out if he's turned into a creepy wap. Nancy, let's go together!

2) Visit my friends in L.A. - I haven't been there in a couple of years and I think I'm going through withdrawal.

3) Take a creative writing class at Columbia - the last time I took a creative writing class, the instructor became a creepy wap and it made me feel dirty instead of inspired.

4) Actually make it to a few happy hours with my coworkers - when I am doing homework or in class instead of at the bar, people forget that I exist and then don't invite me to birthday parties. What up Enes!?

5) Check out the Munch Exhibit at the Art Institute

6) Staying in bed ALL day Sunday

7) Wear a mini-dress and pumps. My legs miss seeing the light of day.

8) Go shopping - so I can buy a mini-dress to wear (I have enough shoes).

9) Cook. I used to cook, but now I don't. Sad story.

10) Free up an entire weekend so that A.J. can finally come visit me *hopefully* before he leaves for Japan again.

11) Hang out with Tugce and my BFF. I'm alive and I miss you Tuch!

12) Go through the pile of magazines I subscribe to (still in their plastic wrapping from last November).

13) Read. I used to read, now I don't (except for school books). Sad story. I'm going to start with a bodice ripper (romance novels from the 80's where the hero rips the clothes off the heroine before he "ravishes" her) and then the newest David Sedaris book (which is I think a year old), maybe Freakonics and then the Audacity of Hope.

14) Continue to work on being green - I've fallen off the wagon.

15) Work out at least three times a week so that my personal trainer would stop nagging me everytime I see/talk to him.

16) Visit my family more often - for BBQs, swimming pools and ice cream trucks - just like when I was a little girl.

17) Not have to struggle to find time for dates or worry when they run too long because I still have homework to do.

18) Maybe filling out that Facebook list everyone keeps tagging me with.

19) NOT doing homework over lunch and NOT eating at my desk.

20) Finally taking the long-awaited trip to NYC with Niki (we have been talking about it for over two years but our schedules just don't mesh.)

That is all for now.
Oops. Last one:

21) Blog more often.
