2012 "Bucket List"

This time last year in my English class, Mr. Dalton taught us a new way of doing new year's resolutions.  In his mind, were a waste of mind space.  People would make them, keep them for a week, then feel guilty for not keeping them for the rest of the year.  So instead of encouraging us to make resolutions, he taught us the ways of the 'yearly bucket list.'  He had us get out a piece of paper, had us write numbers 1 - whatever age we were at the time, then next to each number, he had us write something down that we wanted to do that year.  As the year went on, we were to cross of the things we did end up doing, and for the things we didn't get to do - no worries! We'd just put it on next year's list.

My 2012 'Bucket List'

1. Read the Book of Mormon cover to cover.
2. Eat a Ghost Chili pepper.
3. See a Play.
4. Win Gold with my STAR event for this year.
5. Finish reading Les Miserables (unabridged).
6. Learn to Play Hedwig's Theme by Jarrod Radnich on Piano.
7. Dance in the rain, (rain party part 2, haha)
8. Go to Sammy's.
9. Do baptisms for the dead for 100 of my family members.
10. Ride an elephant.

Obviously, some of these are more likely to happen than others, but whether they all happen or not, it's going to be a fun year!
