Ten things I wanna do in the US Part 1
Wednesday, July 21st, 2010
Even if I not actually moved to the US yet, I already do have a list of things I wanna do in my first year abroad. I decided to share them with you, so perhaps you can point out things that are useless doing and tell me things I rather should put on my list. So let’s start with the first five things:
1. I wanna go to a baby shower
I am kind of obsessed with weddings, baby showers and everything else that involves decorations, cupcakes and pink. We do have such partys here too, but I so adore how detail-loving and serious Americans take their whole celebration tradition. Why I wanna go to a baby shower, instead of a wedding? I have my own big wedding in August and three others to attend this year â so I don’t feel like seeing another wedding right away. Also I have never been to a baby shower in my life, because that tradition doesn’t exist over here. So I guess I’ll need to find myself a pregnant friend or colleague very fast!
2. I wanna go to a Roller Derby
Our friend Jeana joined a Roller Derby Team this May and even if I have never seen that sport live before, I am in love with it! All the girls on Jeana’s team are so adorable and I love the cute dresses they wear for their sports. I would actually love to join the team myself, but I am way to girly and scared of scars and other fight wounds!
3. I wanna go to the X-Games
This actually is something I have been dreaming of a long long time. I love actionsports â especially FMX â and can’t wait to have the biggest Actionsports event right in front of my own doorstep very soon!
4. I wanna buy a cake in a supermarket
Yeah I know that may sound awkward and a little lame, but the first thing I will do when I actually live in the US is having a fridge and some friends to share it with, I will buy the cutest cake my local supermarket offers. Every time we visit the US I so adore the cute cakes, their lovely details and all of the sugar on calories in it! And: Who cares about a little extra pounds on the hips? In my first year abroad definitely not me!
5. I wanna wear a cheerleader uniform
When I was about 16 my parents asked me, if I wanted to move to the US for one year to go to school there. I was way to scared back than to leave my family and friends, so I denied that offer. Yes, I do bitterly regret that. Especially because I never got to wear a cheerleader uniform ever that way! And I never got taken out to prom! I never kissed a football Quarterback! You know what? I just decided which costums to buy for Flo’s and my first Halloween!
