Summer List Update

With just over two weeks left at Haverford, here is how I'm doing so far on that summer to-do list...
  • Eat gelato, a lot
  • Shop in Media (crossed out because Rehoboth was better)
  • Go to King of Prussia
  • Get Coldstone
  • Road trip to Fairleigh's grandparents' beach house in Ocean City
  • Go to the beach, in general
  • Hit up Minella's at three in the morning at least once
  • Learn to cook (I made meat sauce; I'm counting it)
  • Make $$$$$ (or at least $)
  • Learn to be a grown-up who has a job, pays rent, and cooks for herself
  • Turn 20
  • See Inception, Manic, and Whip It
  • Watch Glee
  • Make friendship bracelets
  • Make beaded bracelets
  • See my home friends and my family, eventually...
  • Go to the 4th of July flea market
  • Get my wisdom teeth out
  • Do absolutely nothing for three weeks and enjoy it thoroughly (well, except the wisdom teeth recovery part)
  • Become un-addicted to caffeine
  • Effectively pack my life into a suitcase and a backpack...and maybe another suitcase, and a carry-on duffel...
  • GO TO ARGENTINA!!!

Here's a picture of the two beaded bracelets I've made so far:
