a walk down memory lane...

So I found my old xanga the other day, and that provided a couple of wonderful hours of laughing at myself.

But it did remind me of one tradition that I've come to miss, and I think I want to revive: the Summer To-Do List.

So in honor of my old xanga, I've decided to post my To-Do lists from '04 and '05, along with how I did as far as completing them.

Plus...Summer To-Do List '08! That's right. Be excited.

6. Read alot. I won't set a specific number. But I want to spend some serious time with my books!

8. Take pictures. I've really been bad about this lately, and I want to start taking more.
9. Be sure to save plenty of time for my parents. Corey and I have learned that a night in with them can be just as much fun as anything else we could do.
10. Have at least one random road trip. To San Antonio. Houston. Downtown Austin.Dallas. Marble Falls. Heck - - College Station. I don't care. Just go somewhere.
