Oklahoma Bucket List

Last night kind of marked the beginning of the end for my cohort's time at Oklahoma State. Tomorrow is the day when individuals begin to leave Stillwater for home or greener pastures (or new jobs). It was probably the last time we will all be in the same place at once. Due to these upcoming farewells, I have decided to start an Oklahoma Bucket List for my last 40 days here:

1. New tattoo to represent my time in Oklahoma. And yes, I have finally figured out what it will be. There will be no tornadoes or pictures of Pistol Pete on my body, so I'm sorry to disappoint those who were thinking that a viable option.

2. Trip to Dallas and Six Flags in Arlington, TX. Austin - you better be ready for this one!

3. Picnic by this nice little pond off of Western.

4. Go to a Casino, as I have never been to one before. I may watch Michael and others gamble, but I will be the moral support.

5. Spend an entire day at Aspen Coffee, listening to music and not feeling bad about it. I'll save this one for one of the Thursdays or Fridays I have off in June. :) (May 26, 2012)

6. Run 13.1 miles below 1 hour and 45 minutes.

7. Say what I mean and act on how I feel.

8. Float the Illinois River at least once. Was supposed to do this 2 summers back, but Oklahoma was in a drought (no one is surprised here).

9. Say "see you soon" to everyone who made this experience a great one! (May 23, 2012)

10. Play midnight bocce somewhere other than behind the Griffith Center. I'm flexible with this one. (May 17, 2012)

11. Spend an evening looking at the stars without any disturbances.

12. Go golfing a few times this summer. (May 19, 2012)

13. Learn how to shoot with a bow and arrow.

14. (Maybe) Get my nose pierced. This one depends on the money.

I feel as if this list is pretty reasonable. More will be added as I continue to think about things that I need to experience while I am still in Stillwater.
