6 for 14- #8 Do Something on my Bucket List

I thought this would be a difficult one, since most of my bucket list is filled with things like "see ice skating at the Olympics" or "ski in the Alps" or other such foreign adventures.  Fortunately, a handful of things on that list can still be done in this country and I have managed to do one of them, definitely didn't expect to at the beginning of this year.

So, just a few weekends ago (I'm getting a little better at posting quickly), I went out with my boyfriend and his sister and her husband and shot a gun!  It was super exciting, and I can't think of too many better things to do the night before one goes to take the Physics GRE.  I mean, really, at that point, further studying is only going to stress me out more.  So, when offered the opportunity to instead take out my anxiety on the little orange targets with a 22 rifle, I figured, why not!  I even managed to hit the little orange target on my third try.

I also had the chance to shoot a 9 mm hand gun...I prefer the 22.  I don't feel like it's trying to jump out of my hands each time I pull the trigger.  And by the time I was shooting the hand gun I had shot down all the targets so I had nothing specific at which to shoot, so I felt more like I was just wasting bullets.

And don't worry, I still did just fine on the GRE...I think, I haven't actually received my score yet.

5 for 14- #5 Find a four-leaf clover

Okay, so I actually found a four-leaf clover sometime in July, I've just been really forgetful lately (and by lately I mean since July) and am just now getting around to writing about it.

Part of me, however, is grateful that I have put this off for so long.  I now have experiences I can tell about this four-leaf clover of mine.  I can now declare that four-leaf clovers really are as lucky as people claim they are.  Since finding this simple little clover, I have won tickets to see a live taping of Studio C, to attend the Homecoming Spectacular (a fine arts performance done every year at my school for homecoming), and for the 2014 Mormon Tabernacle Christmas concert coming up in December.

So, to all my college friends out there who are much like me, completely penniless, if you are looking for fun, free dates- go out and find yourself a four-leaf clover and then enter all the "free ticket giveaways" you can find.
