Winter Break Bucket List: Wrap Up

So, in my last week at home...I slept a lot, went to more basketball games, worked on my OCS Proposal, and didn't really do a whole lot else.  And then I got on a plane, flew back to Kenyon, and dove into the first week of class.  It was a pretty productive break and has been a very productive (and exhausting) first week back.  Things are hopefully going to start moving forward with my application for study abroad, the deadline is coming up on the eighth so when I'm not in class, doing homework, working, or watching Downton Abbey, I'll be putting in the hours on my proposal...which is actually what I should be doing now.  Have a good weekend!

Winter Break Bucket List: Week Two

Okay, I'm getting more productive by degrees.  

This week I...
-Went to my brother's holiday tournament...which they won!
-Survived Christmas.
-Busted out the Latin.
-Read more of the Hobbit.
-Made progress on Pachelbel's Canon.

This week I attempted to...
-Work on my Kenyon OCS Proposal.

This week I failed at...
-Cooking a Julia Child recipe.
-Keeping up with my workout routine.

Tonight will be spent with my family, playing board games, eating junk food, and waiting for the ball to drop in Times Square.  I haven't decided how I feel about this past year yet, I think my high points and low points equalled out pretty well.  In any case, I do think I'm on the right track or have figured out what the right track is in several aspects of my life and I'm excited for this year to be over and the next to start so I can put what I've learned in 2011 to use.
It's a fresh start, Happy New Year!

Winter Break Bucket List: Week One

Alright, so I haven't been that productive.  Well, that's not true, I've been productive but I just haven't crossed much off my list.  

This week I...
-Went to two of my brother's basketball games.  
-Went caroling with the church Deacons.  
-Got into a great exercise routine...SO SORE.
-Helped Mom with the Christmas Pageant.
-Finished Christmas Shopping/Making/Wrapping.

This week I attempted to...
-Go to ballroom at the YMCA with my Dad...it was cancelled for December.
-Read The Hobbit...but kept leaving it in the car.

This week I failed at...
-Studying Latin...OOPS.
-Working on my Kenyon OCS Proposal
-Doing most of the other things on my list.

Not particularly impressive or interesting but there are three weeks left of break and I really needed some time to sleep and just putz around like I did this week.  Next week will be more productive!  However, our Christmas rush starts in an hour and a half and won't end until Monday night at the earliest so there will be no posts on Sunday or Tuesday this week.  So, until next Saturday, have a Merry Christmas!
