My friend
Dusty has this list of 100 things he wants to do/accomplish before he dies. The more I think about it, the more it becomes a great idea to do that myself which is why I mention him: to give credit where it is due. I have a few things on my list and it is slow going so far. It is a much more duanting task than I had first imagined. Once I get about 20 or so, I will start posting some of them. As of now, I am up to 9.
My break this week from school has been a great opportunity for us to work on our house some. We were able to do some painting, and I have done some minor repairs around the place. It is starting to come together quite nicely. There are an endless list of things that I would like to do to the house. When I am working on things in the house, I really enjoy that tool manly power feeling I get. I think I could actually do construction work for a living. Maybe it's just how I was brought up and my work ethic, but I feel such a sense of accomplishment when I do something with my hands that has a visible result. Often in my current profession, the result isn't easily observable. I can teach for days and days and sometimes not see a result which makes it frustrating at times. In home improvement however, you can see results happening before your very eyes. Quite rewarding.
