To Do List

On top of preparing myself for my departure, I plan on doing all things Columbus/American that I can stuff into 2 months. Here's my list so far...feel free to add any ideas:)

• Spending time with friends and family (obvi)
  
• Music festival/concerts (Already plan on going to Coachella)
• Running! (I've heard from previous volunteers that other cultures don't put as much emphasis on working out and exorcise and will typically look at you funny)
• DRIVING...I just thought about how odd it will be to come back after not driving for ~2 years. I once was unable to drive for a month and getting back into it was kind of awkward.
• Anything technological. I am not sure what I will have access to, so I'm doing my best to wain myself off of internet surfing yet really enjoying it at the same time. Same thing with nice TVs, dvds, blu rays, etc.
• Cedar Point
• Starbucks
• Consumerism in general. It doesn't make sense to buy a lot of crap I don't need, but I figure I can soak it in by hitting up the local mall
• Drinking a little bit too much alcohol aaaand good beer aaand going to Happy Hour. I don't really plan on drinking during my service & its discouraged because it only makes you more of a target for crime and unwanted attention.
  

More Columbus-y:

• visit COSI, aka Center of Science and Industry
• visit the Columbus Zoo
• Jeni's Ice cream
• OSU - the shoe, new union, oval, RPAC...if I can get in
• Good local restaurants: Betty's, North Star...
