The Bucket List

One thing I most definitely want to do before graduating from high school is be part of some kind of a theatrical production. I don't particularly care whether I'm an important role in the cast or whether I'm just the girl who handles one of the spotlights. All I'm asking is to be part of some kind of play/musical performance. Alternately, I'd like to make some short films with a group of people, so I could have practice in writing screenplays like I want to, and so I could have practice with special effects in movies. Plus, making performances like that could theoretically bring me closer to some people, and lord only knows how much I need new friends after what happened last semester. I'm also very fond of creating stories, so having a medium to translate them into would be great.

In college, I'd like to make sure that I can hold down a job of some description. Not necessarily a really big job, like a volunteer firefighter or an intern in a police station, but just a regular job. I want to do this because I really would like some experience with finances in the workforce, so that I might be better prepared to go into the real world. Plus, I might be able to save up enough money in order to buy myself things I want to have, rather than things I need to have.

Finally, before I die, I'd like to learn a bunch of different languages and try to travel the globe extensively. Knowing Spanish is okay, but knowing things like Chinese or French could be useful in communicating businesswise, seeing as China has a serious hold on the world economy with manufacturing things. Traveling the world would be great because there are many sights I'd love to see, like the pyramids in Egypt, or The Coliseum, or Niagara Falls.
