In the course of talk­ing with name­sakees, I invari­ably get asked what year I am. When I tell them I’ve grad­u­ated, I get the follow-up “What do you do now?” So I tell them about work and my plans for law school. And how incred­i­bly frus­trat­ing it is to be wait­ing on answers to my applications.

It’s weird, because I’m a go-with-the-flow kind of guy. I’m never the one in my group of friends who plans things. But now, I can’t plan. My life is in a hold­ing pat­tern for the next half-year. I can’t really change jobs or move or any­thing, because I might have to change jobs and move again in months. So I’m stuck in a low-paying, unful­fill­ing job in a bor­ing town. At least I have APhiO to keep my extracur­ric­u­lars up.

But any­way, my birth­day is com­ing up in a cou­ple of months. Since it’s my three-to-the-third birth­day, I want to knock at least three items off my bucket list, but that requires plan­ning. I fig­ure I should start things off in a big way… like sky­div­ing! I looked it up, though, and the place in Davis offers jumps at around $200 for tan­dem (hav­ing a pro strapped to your back) or $350 for a solo jump. Who wants to join me? Let me know, because it will be legendary!

(If there’s no inter­est, I guess I can set­tle for one of the other bucket list items.)
