"Create your own bucket list," says Dr. Kardas. Not such a daunting task at first glance. Create your own Bucket List, put it in essay form, edit to perfection, and post it on the Honors Blog for the world to see: Ugh. So now, Reader, you know the assignment. Now for the statement of intent: This is my Bucket List.
Goal number one: Own a nice house with black tile floors. Why black? Because black is awesome, that's why. Honestly, how many houses have you seen with black tile throughout? Imagine how sexy black tile would be along with rusty orange walls and cheetah print curtains. That is my (future) master bedroom. A Johanna original. No copycats, please.
Goal number two: Learn Latin. Why Latin? Isn't that a dead language? No, actually, Latin lives! English, Spanish, French, and the other Romance languages all have Latin roots. Also, many medical terms are Latin. As an aspiring Nurse Practitioner, I would much rather understand the hidden meaning of the words than just mindlessly memorize them. I'm sure my future patients will feel the same. Lastly, when Dr. Kardas says, "think back to your Latin" I would like to have some Latin to think back to.
Goal number three: Own two Irish Wolfhounds, a female and a male, named Bonnie and Clyde. I don't want to just own them; I want my Wolfhounds housetrained. Why have two large dogs (which have been known to acquire the stature of small ponies) running around in a nice house with black tile? In addition to the companionship and protection, it's uncommon. Most people have never even seen an Irish Wolfhound in the flesh; even less have seen two, fully housetrained Wolfhound/lapdogs. I am nothing if not unique.
Goal number four: Visit Scotland. Why Scotland? I love bagpipes, plaid, and the movie Braveheart.
Well, Reader, now that you know the deepest desires of my heart, do you feel that you understand me better? I believe that was the intent of this essay. Now, for formality and finality, I must repeat: That was my Bucket List.
