0 Down, 30 To Go

In exactly two weeks, I will turn  28.  That's almost 30.  It got me thinking about all that I have done in my life, and all that I haven't.  Over the next two years and two weeks, I hope to accomplish these thirty tasks.  It's not that I'm not proud of where I am now - I've graduated from college, bought my own place (and a real, non-hand-me-down couch), I've been in love, I've learned to manage my crazy, I've lived in Europe, I've zip-lined and rock climbed and snow-shoed.  I've been to Hawaii.  I got into nursing school... But there's alot I haven't done.  Thanks to my friend Rob, and his awesome 30x30 list, I've started my own.  So, without further adieu, here's the list:
