Try something new every week

Last week I rode the bus to work for the first time. I actually really enjoyed it. It was a new kind of adventure. It was much more relaxing than driving. I read a book and listened to conversations. I still prefer trains to buses but since I’m in Indy for a few more years, might as well use what we have!

This week I went to the Indianapolis Art Museum for the first time and I also tried a new restaurant. I really enjoy this goal. It gives me something fun to look forward to every week.

I visited a graduate school, spoke with some professors and students, and sat in on a few classes.

This weekend I took a tour of historic houses in the area.

Last week I went to the Indy Fringe Festival.

Living in a new city just after graduating from college, this has actually been one of the easiest things to accomplish—and yet I get completely freaked out before every new experience. I get extremely nervous checking out new churches every Sunday, starting a new job and talking to new coworkers, driving to new places… I really need to work on being excited when I try new things instead of being scared.
