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.
