Promises, Promises

So there is a real, albeit very small, chance that I may actually convert this class assignment blog into something with more substance. I have been kicking around the idea for a little while, and I've been searching for an opportunity without the strain of a ridiculous amount school work to actually devote some time to making it good(ish).

I'd like to discuss my take on current events, random goings on in my apartment/city/state/nation/world, and maybe even a few personal anecdotes--I never run out of those. Since no one reads this, I'm sure it will be good practice if I ever actually become a writer.

I made a Summer Bucket List (converting this blog was on it, so I'm really trying here) listing all of the things I want to accomplish this summer and before I leave Tuscaloosa, presumably for good. So for no good reason other than I spent 20 good minutes of my life on it, here is my summer bucket list:

-Go to The Houndstooth and The Booth
-Ride every Crimson Ride route in one day
-Buy a frisbee and play on the Quad
-Go to the Northport Diner
-Have one more party with the Southern Politics Study Group
-Go to the Original Dreamland and Full Moon
-Take a really irresponsible road trip
-Sing Karaoke in public
-Buy t-shirts from:
-Mugshots
-Buffalo Phils
-Zoe's
-Momma Goldberg's
-Finish Atlas Shrugged
-Go swimming at least once a week
-Wear Auburn shirts to class my entire last week
-Wear something Auburn to my graduation
-Have at least one War Eagle moment in Tuscaloosa
-Run two miles regularly again
-Get the blog up and running
-Make a real dinner twice a month

In all seriousness, if my next summer class is as intense as this Women's Studies class, I may never finish Atlas Shrugged. Someone forgot to give these teachers the memo that summer classes are supposed to be easy.

So even though this post isn't really about anything that matters, I'm giving myself a half-check for the blog conversion because this post isn't about anything related to my JN325 class (and also because it's the only thing I've sorta done so far).

Maybe next time will be more news-y/intelligent? We'll see.

over and out.
