while i still have quite a bit of time to work on my 30 things to do before i'm 30 list, i just want to share with you the fact that i have officially completed my FIRST item on the list. this is exciting, people!
i went ahead and tackled one of the beasts that was feasible without much prior planning ... granted, i'm still catching up on missed sleep because of it, but it was well worth it to say that i've officially started on my list.
so which task was my guinea pig task? well thanks to the turkey day holidays, it worked out nicely that i take on the following:
14. actually get up in the early hours of the morning and experience the chaos that is the day after thanksgiving sales -- COMPLETED, 11/25/2011: roughly midnight-3am
so what's my take on the hoopla that is black friday? despite the fact that my college roomie will kill me, i have to say that black friday is more like bust friday to me. maybe if i actually had things i needed i would have appreciated it a little more, but really it was just a time where everyone stays up in the hours that only college kids should stay up and they all cram into the same little aisles attempting to all try on the same pair of shoes. granted, i did get some cute things...but i also waited in line with my sleepy mother (who was a star trooper coming out with me) for at least an hour to purchase 3 (maybe 4?) things.
next time (as if there will be a next time), i'll make sure to have a long santa-like list so that the hours of waiting in line and the myriad of sweaty strangers that touched me are worth it.
also, for those of you that are interested, VERY soon there will be another item crossed of the 30 list. but i'm not telling you what it is just yet. so stay tuned. i promise it'll be worth it.
