Embarkment

Day 1 (The first).  

As an aries with what some call "excess energy", I am channeling my vivacity towards some positive -- dare I say productive? Or healthy?  Much unlike my other pass-times...FaceBook & NetFlix -- outlets and beginning a new chapter of my life.  And in doing so, recording the ride... 

As I pursue an MPH and build mental fear for the biggest hurdle in my life [the MCAT] I'm also ...

-starting a book club.
-learning to drive a manual vehicle. 
-learning the guitar.  
-teaching the elderly zumba.
-training for my first 1/2 marathon.  <-- the true inspiration for the blog.  Follow my struggle, and hopefully my enjoyment.  Having others awareness of this goal, apart from my courageous confidants [Jeff and Kim] will help me achieve this. 

                                                        I hope if you are following this, and you know who you are, this list is strikingly similar to one compiled on a certain bus in a certain place...Let's do this.

Perhaps we can all find humor in following this stubborn, free spirited girl trying to get by in a big world...

Yes, when I saw about the guitar lessons- I have not been as diligent on following through. But you got me back to that place, sitting/crouching in the back of a bus resting my head on bus window curtains that I am certain have never been washed in the twenty year existence of the rickety vehicle, reflecting on where we were in life and where we want to go (besides the hell out of Croatia and that bus) and besides our intellectual debate over the U.S.A. (this sounds much more impressive here)...we made a list- initiating our post-Europe life. Well you have just got me back to that place and have re-lit my ambition towards the goals we established. Let's do this.
