Martin Luther is a Boss.

It's natural to make lists.

Today in British Literature, my professor was teaching on the sixteen century.  We started discussing Martin Luther and his 95 theses, when I suddenly realized something.

Martin Luther is a champion.

He knew what he needed to do and he did it.  He wrote down all these complaints and issues he had against the church, and instead of just pegging them on a cork board in his office, he went down and NAILED the thing to the door of the church.  That got me thinking about things I want to do with my life, so for the next hour of lecturing, I wrote my bucket list. I like to think Martin Luther had one too. This is what I've got thus far, in no particular order:

1. Get a drink and/or sandwich named after me.
2. Try out vegetarianism for a month, then eat a huge steak
3. Get published
4. Run to and kiss the boy I love in an airport
5. Learn how to drive stick shift
6. Successfully complete an entire Harry Potter marathon
7. Buy a pet owl
8. Speak in front of the church
9. Knit a sweater and wear it in public
10. Go to Greece
11. Read War and Peace
12. Go on a road trip across America

24. Convince someone giraffes aren't real
25. Punch someone in the face (for good reason)
26. Quit a job, then say "You don't know how high I can fly." Michael Scott style

28. Go to the 500 Days of Summer bench, and draw on someones arm
29. Go on a "dinner, dancing, drinks" date
