A Rather Ramblesome Post

Brr.....winter is really starting to set in here in NE...fun winter fact: We are currently in a "coldhouse" phase.  So basically the earth has natural "greenhouse" and "coldhouse" cycles, and according to a research study, earth is currently in the cold phase.

I know I haven't been very productive lately, at least in regards to posting book reviews (almost done with a book though!)  ButI felt like now would be a good time to sort out my mind a bit...so this might be a rather ramblesome post (and yes I did just make up that word--along with "normallyier" a few hours ago...and I tried to spell "turn" as "tearn" just 10 minutes ago when writing my essay...lol, can you tell it has been a long day?)  

It seems as if every year is going by faster and faster, and as I'm here typing this, I can't help but realize there's so much I want to do! I was cleaning my room the other day and found a "Bucket List" I made in middle school--6th grade to be exact--and as I sat down on my bed and began to read it (there was 100 things listed, fyi) I was immediately transported back in time.  I couldn't help but laugh at some of my goals (open a summer camp--more specifically, a marine biology summer camp--boy have I changed since!) , others I proudly crossed out (run a half marathon), and still even more remain (visit Europe), urging me to hurry up and start living and just complete this task, will ya? 

And anyways, now I sit here typing, wondering where will I end up in 5 years? 10? Where will I live? What job will I have?  Will I have a family?  It seems as if winter (or rainy days or windy days or weather that generally discourages any sane person from going outside) seems to be my prime time for pondering such thoughts.

Well, it's been quite a crazy week for me (SAT in a couple of weeks--eep!  I've been practicing those timed essays, but man, they still unnerve me!) so I think I will sign off here. 

What goals do you have on your bucket list? Have you made up any words before?
