Missions (Mostly) Accomplished

I realized today that I’ve recently accomplished two goals:

  1. A friend and I were discussing whether or not we liked flying and I remembered a day from when I was nine years old. I was on my way to Arizona to visit my grandma and I was so excited to be flying in an airplane. I remember hoping to myself that one day I would travel so much that I’d get completely sick of flying like all the businessmen around me seemed to be. I can’t say I’m totally there but after so many flights with Ryan Air last year and after paying for my flights over the past five years, I’m pretty damn close. Anyway, I feel like it’s a forgotten mission accomplished and I’m excited about it!
  2. Then at lunch, I noticed that my chopsticks skills have improved tenfold since I’ve been here. We went out to eat the first day I was here and I ended up switching to a spoon shortly after the meal had started. Today, however, I realized that I don’t even think about using them anymore! Immediately after I said it out loud though, my overjoyed little fingers slipped and I accidentally flung a pickled radish into the air; it ricocheted off of me and landed on the floor but I promise it was just a fluke. Life’s funny and it just couldn’t let me get away with being so proud of myself.
