The List, Part I

I've decided to break my list of 30 adventures into six lists of five. Mostly so my running story of adventures has more posts, and because I can't write about them all that quickly...(just being honest)

I've started at the end of my list, so numbers 25 thru 30. As I mentioned, the list took me much longer than I originally thought it would. Consequently, some of these items are less adventurous, and more odd...


26. Learn to ski/snowboard
          I've been to Colorado two separate times, once I even stayed in the mountains, but I've never even attempted to ski. I'm sure I'll be horrible at it, as my balance isn't the greatest. However, I have decent footwork, and if I'm going to break a leg, I should probably do it while I'm younger as opposed to older!

27. Go to Gamma Phi Beta Convention
          When I joined Gamma Phi Beta in 2008, I never anticipated it meaning as much as it does to me. I see my sisters go to convention and come back different individuals, more alive and on fire with the love of the sorority. I don't want to be a forever collegian (for real!) or even a forever, completely involved sister. But it's given me such great memories, I want to keep making them! Denver didn't work out for me this year, so I have my sights set on Seattle in 2014. (Plus, who doesn't want to visit Seattle?!?!)

28. Become a Certified Fitness Instructor
         This one may be a stretch--literally. I enjoy sitting on my couch, watching movies, or staring at my computer screen. However, I do also enjoy a good workout...when I decide I'm tired of the previous three things. I'm sure with a little dedication and work, it could make for a good side job. Plus, I anticipate my future career to consist of a lot of sitting, walking to meetings, and lunches at my desk. I need something to balance all of that out...

29. Go Rock Climbing
          I once dated a guy who loved to rock-climb. It didn't work out that well for us, and I have very little upper body strength to pull this off. However, there was a point in my life when I was so excited to go camp, climb and be adventurous, that it made the list. My only hope is that I work on having some sort of arm strength before this attempt, mainly so I don't completely waste a trip and embarrass myself. 

30. Try to like the NBA (specifically, go to at least 3 games and give it a fair chance).
          When I was in high school, I loved watching both high school and college basketball. When I went to college, I became an even bigger college basketball fan. However, I've never made the jump to enjoying professional basketball. I understand the guys are very talented, well-paid, and famous. But really? Can't quite stand to watch the games. With the anticipated move within the next year, there will be a NBA team with easy access in the city. Plus, my favorite MU player getting drafted helps my chances of fulfilling this goal...let's go Pacers and Pistons?
