This Friday, the 26th of February, 2010, I will have earned the title of a 24 year old. Sounds crazy.
Part of me feels way beyond my years; the other part feels like a child. I suppose in some ways we are all a bit of both. When it comes to birthdays, I tend to go all out. I like to reflect on the past year, build up expectations for the next, and send the old title out with a bang. This year is no different.
As for reflecting on this past year, there were things I set out to do and accomplished, things I set out to do and didnt come close to finishing, and set out to do and didnt even try... but overall I feel pretty darn good about the past year. Here are some of the things that really stand out when I look back on 23.
*Returned to Peru for three weeks in May
*Bought an old bike and fixed it up
*Took a few guitar lessons
*Learned to knit
*Visited friends/ family in MN, OH, and KY
*Bought my very first laptop
*Visited the Northeast for the first time (Connecticut, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, and Maine)
*Lived in Philadelphia
*Played in a soccer league for the 1st time
*Took my first kickboxing class
* Took my first "spin" class
* Went "deep sea" fishing ( I dont know how far out
you have to be to qualify as deep sea but thats what I think
it was)
* Saw some ridiculously good concerts.
* Got to be a bridesmaid for one of my very best friends
* Added some amazing "antique" books to my collection
.
~Tomorrow will be my day to reflect on things I'm glad I got to be a part of this past year.
Stay tuned.
