learn how to drive a manual transmission vehicle
Not bad for a first time

I wouldn’t consider myself the most coordinated person, but I do consider myself a good driver. I’ve been driving for about 6 years now and I realized I had never learned to drive a standard. I’ve actually had dreams where I’m stuck somewhere and have to drive a standard for some reason—then I get behind the wheel and freak! haha so today my dad took me for a ride in his standard. I probably only got about a half hour of practice in, but it was enough to learn the basics and be confident enough that I COULD drive one if I ever really had to. I’d definitely like to practice more and become confident with it (and way less spastic!)
I will say that it was a bit uncomfortable to drive though because I’m short and you have to extend your leg down all the way on the clutch. Being short that means I had to sit pretty much right next to the steering wheel, which is definitely not ideal.

This was also a step to prepare myself for one of my other goals: learn to drive a motorcycle. (someday… sigh)



live in a big city
Jacksonville

I’m moving to Jacksonville, FL in September! I’ll be there for at least a year: I’m joining an AmeriCorps program there. I really have no idea what I’m in for—I’ve always lived in small towns in rural areas, and I’ve never even been to Florida. I’m excited but I know I’ll be overwhelmed.



stop being so indecisive
another tricky one

I find that I have the hardest times with decisions when they’re major decisions… I’ll be a senior in college in the fall and it seems like now is the time that i’m plagued with the “what do you want to do with your life” question. I obviously don’t have to know that right away…but it would be nice if i could make up my mind about a few things…like whether or not to apply to grad schools/what programs to apply to/etc…
