Better Late than Never (Bucket List)

My bucket list is mostly unserious and unfocussed, save for the basics like "get a masters of PhD from UK". The body of my list is usually no more mature or well thought out than "own a T-shirt launcher" or "beat an Asian at ping-pong" (which hasn't gone well in any of the instances I've attempted it).

Before high school: Make solid A's and B's.
This might be unaspiring and even standard by some academy students' expectations, but there's always been one class I can't pull an 83 or higher in, and it'd be nice to change that.

College: Become fluent in spanish.
I love the idea of knowing multiple languages, and while I'm debating AP spanish next year, I know for sure that I'll take it while I'm in college. French and Italian are also languages that I'd like to know, especially since the language and vocabulary have similar roots to spanish and english. This would make it easier to learn those languages after becoming fluent. It would also open up the opportunities to living in Europe.

Life: Own a sports car. A really nice sports car.
I'll be honest, I can't justify this in any way other than "I really freaking want a sports car". I wouldn't go drag racing in it or anything, but I truly feel that no matter how old I get, I'll always accelerate like a 17 year old if I'm in a cool enough car. Why? Because accelerating in a sports car is fun, and totally worth the poor mileage. I might not get this dream car fresh out of college, but believe me, it will come.
