That is right! I did one of the easiest, yet most difficult tasks on my list. It was easy because I mean going to a movie doesn't cost a lot of money, it isn't difficult to do, and it's definitely enjoyable. But going alone was scary and intimidating. I don't know. I'll explain it when I get to it.
I spent my morning/early afternoon watching movies, working on my Personal Case History (# 105 on the list), and editing pictures. So, ya'll know how I am super-indecisive. Well I spent nearly a half hour staring at my movie rack trying to decide what to watch when finally I came up with a brilliant (or so I think) plan. I put all my movies into an Excel spreadsheet and then used a number generator to choose a number and watched the movie corresponding with that number. I think I might do the same thing for all my favorite restaurants! ;)
Then at 4ish, Brendan called to let me know grades were up, once the feeling of throwing up subsided I went and looked. I got two As, two BAs, and a DC. UGH. I knew it was coming. As, some of you knew I have been freaking out about failing that class for a while now. It was my own fault, I turned in assignments late, and then she decided not to accept them. Ugh.
So I had told Dennis I would call him immediately to let him know how it turned out. He has been my rock through my freakouts about this (just as I have been his through his first year of law school). I called him, about in tears to tell him I failed and won't be receiving one of my degrees. Then, throught the course of our conversation I thought about the fact that not all classes do you have to have a C to pass. So I started looking, I tore apart my bedroom looking for the course catalog and for my major slip. The major slip said nothing about course requirements, and I couldn't find the catalog. Then my genius bestest tells me to call the college. After calling three different people I finally got someone to answer my question. Calling Dennis to tell him I passed was the highlight of my day. And telling him that I still graduate with honors, with a 3.5 GPA was great. It made me laugh that we ended up with the same GPA at the end of our undergrad careers, and that made him happy because he couldn't handle me having a higher one! ;) I'm not sure which of the two of us was happier that I passed though. He told me I should go out and celebrate, and I said I didn't have anyone to go out and celebrate with, which lead me to thinking and completing my next bucket list task. Excellent idea. I really don't know what I would do without him! Anyways, I talked to him a bit longer, then went back to my PCH and pictures.
Later my mom called and I told her the whole story. Yeah, I wasn't going to tell her I almost failed a class but I have this thing with keeping stuff from her, in that I cannot do it. So I told her the whole story. She wasn't mad about my grade. Wasn't mad that I could have not passed. Nope, she was mad that I didn't tell her sooner so she could be there to support me. Wow. Really? I have amazing parents (have I told ya'll that?!?).
Then I got a shower and got ready. I decided I was going to complete a bucket list item today. So I went to see Fighting at the Kalamazoo 10, alone. It was such a strange feeling. I felt like everyone was looking at me and judging me for being alone. (And I wasn't dressed like a freak for once so it wasn't that!) But it was a also a very liberating feeling. I realized today that the last time I went out on a date was January 19th. That just made me sick, so I considered tonight my date with myself. =) Anyhow I absolutely loved the feeling at the end of the movie, the feeling that I could do anything alone. I already knew this but it reaffirmed it. I really like my new-found independence and feel as though I might need it for a while. The movie itself was ok. It wasn't anything spectacular, but I would watch it again if someone asked. Wouldn't buy it though.
Oh and I wanted to point out: 350 visitors in 10 days. WOW. =)
Ok, time for the pictures:

YAY!!! Another thing off the list :) And you look gorgeous!
Yeah, movies alone are hard. I did it once and felt like everyone was watching me the whole time. Eating at a restaurant alone is also hard...now I eat in my car if I don't have someone with me! The thing I could never get the courage to do was to go to the bar alone...when I lived in VA I wanted to go alone to meet people (friends, not dates) but I could never do it!
Thanks Bri!
Jen-
Yeah it was hard, but I think I would actually do it again! And going out to eat and to the bar alone might be added to the list. Just because. . . =)
