Throughout school, each term became a challenge, a chance to excel, until that last term when that walk across the stage to accept my diploma took precedence.
Along that educational path, I had a few other big aspirations pop up unexpectedly that were not only pretty dang awesome, but check-marks off my elusive bucket list such as a trip to Seattle and New York City via the perks that came being on the college newspaper.
After college, a job became the goal, one quickly fulfilled perhaps by luck, fate or sheer determination - I'm still not quite sure, but as I've said before on the topic, I'm grateful.
Once I started my job, the goal was getting into a position that fully utilized my skills. That effort took all of three months - thankyouverymuch. Yes, I know that's pretty awesome, but I digress.
Since then, I think I've been lacking that drive, that aim towards a proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. Sure, I have some long term goals in place, but it's possible a short term goal has been in order.
I'm going to Las Vegas.
Come August, I'll have finally paid that infamous city a visit and so many great experiences await me. Not only some amazing, drool-worthy dining experiences, but my FIRST ever visit to a casino (yes, I know, well past due), and the cherry on the cake, my first Broadway musical - front row even.
How's that for awesome?
To be honest, I'm not sure I've had a vacation where I wasn't visiting family or had a journalism convention to attend. I'll be meeting family there - but this is different, this is an actual vacation. Beyond strange... but in a good way.
I'm positively giddy.
Sure, I know after this I'll have to aim for yet another lofty goal, but you know what - it's worth it. I need something to push towards, big or small. Until then, it's a count down - 56 days.
Eee!
