Bucket List

So I've been thinking a lot about new experiences lately, probably because I have one every single day. Today, I made my own curtains! We don't have any in the apartment, so I bought some white sheets and cut them up. They look pretty good, at least to me. This afternoon as I was contemplating starting early on lesson plans, I decided that while I was already being productive, I'd start a bucket list too. I know that most people think it's either way too predictable, unattainable, or pointless. I'm thinking, hey, I've already done a lot in my life, and I'm sure I'll do a lot more- why not write it down? So though this is the roughest of the rough drafts, here it goes:
