Bucket List

I've made a list somewhere before. I had a mental one for my senior year of college- it turned out pretty good actually. I DID sing in Edman Chapel on stage into a mic. I DID pray in Chapel and chat with Chappy K and President Ryken. I DID participate in an epic flashmob halftime show to inaugurate our new president, which you can view here. And I DID write a bunch of random people personal notes saying how they had unintentionally blessed me during my time at Wheaton (some I hadn't even spoken to). All in all, I think its a great thing to have a bucket list. Like dreaming. Which you may remember, I am learning to do.

So here is my list. Its a work in progress and process of course.
