CBL (Cork Bucket List)

I've been thinking for some time that I should have a Bucket List for my last months in Cork. Unless I find another job, in October I'll sadly have to go back to my city. So I guess that I have some time left to do things that I haven't done yet.

I already came here with a to-do list in a gorgeous notebook designed by my lovely friends Marti, Buckley and Maite, I've already done 90% of the things, even the ones I shouldn't be talking in public about, but I still have some left.

So even if I did some of my Bucket List challenges, I'll keep a record of the things I should do and check when done:

  • Go to a Rugby match (check)
  • Go to a hurling match (not live, but I saw Clare vs. Cork on TV)
  • Kiss in the rain. Like, while raining. Like... Wait, I think I have a video for this: 

  • Making good friends (check, check, check)
  • Find a new job so I don't have to go back when my time in the CIT ends.
  • Cliffs of Moher. I know. I know.
  • Dance to Irish Music. (Check, Lara, Check).
  • Café Paradiso
  • Cricket. Wearing white like Marti commanded me to.
  • And I guess that Gaelic Football too.
  • Learn to talk about feelings. Without being embarrassed about them.
  • Learn to say goodbye (I think I'll never be able to check on this one).
  • Save someone's life (at least figurately).
  • Write every week, even if it's not for the blog.
  • Stop overthinking (as if).
  • Write down all the good things that have happened to me here. Even the small ones. 
  • Stay awake all night talking and see the sunrise. Which is not such a big deal, a couple of weeks ago I woke in the middle of the night and, surprise, daylight. At 4.45.
  • Seriously, write down everything. You don't want to forget all the good things. All the little things.
  • Meet the Mayor, because one day I will be Mayor of SS, and we all know it.
  • Stay positive
  • Even if it rains in August.
  • And every single week. At least twice a day.
  • Try to be better everyday. Unless it's Sunday. If it's Sunday just go for some Eggs Benedict.
  • I should think about something else for this to-do list.
