Provo Post-Grad

So, because I've decided to stay in Provo, I've been thinking about how I'm going to spend my time. Here are some of my ideas:

1. Work in the temple. Now that I will have loads of free-time, I can fit in that 5-hour shift again. And I've never had a more rewarding experience than working in the temple. It's pretty much amazing.

2. Save $$$. This is something I really need to get better at. I actually have a savings account right now that I am not allowed to touch, and I've done a really good job not touching it. I will just need to keep it that way, and let it grow.

3. Photography. Okay, HOW long have I been talking about doing photography? While this may interfere with #2, I am going to get a nice camera and take some gol-darned pictures.

4. Exercise a lot. Okay, anyone who knows me knows that I am addicted to the gym. Now I will have LOTS of time to be there. I plan to get really fit. As in, I want to have abs. It's always been a goal of mine. I guess technically EVERYONE has abs, but I want nice ones. So that I can wear them under my shirt all day. And have the satisfaction of knowing they are there.

5. Write. I will have so much time to practice my writing skills! I will do some freelance writing, and maybe even dabble in poetry or fiction. We shall see. And, of course, I will keep BLOGGING!

6. Look into grad schools & possibly take the GRE. Depending on the program I want, I might not have to take the GRE. I may choose a grad program solely based on that criteria. I'm leaning towards a masters in Communication... possibly Journalism. Or Editing.

7. Become a Yoga instructor. It's official. It's happening. I've just got to decide when, and fork out the money to do it.

8. Do service/volunteer work. I figure I've been in Provo long enough, I might as well do something to give back to the community.

9. Finally take that cake decorating class. You and me Carly... you and me.

10. Start a furniture re-furbishing business. This is in the works. I am actually staring at a rocking chair that I am working on right now. I'm really excited about it.

Well, I can't wait. Hopefully I can squeeze a job in there somewhere, too. Still working on that one.
