the list

In case I didn't mention it before, I am an obsessive list maker. So naturally, I have a list of things to do before I die. This summer has been good in that I have crossed two things off the list and will hopefully cross off a third.

My list:

  4. Learn to ballroom dance
  5. Backpack through Europe
  6. Own my own business
  7. Learn Italian
