In my spare time, I've been thinking of things I want to do in my life, and decided to make a bucket list. I remember making a bucket list a few years ago and I don't remember everything that was on it, but I do remember some things that were on it that I have now done and can cross off, so I added those on this bucket list too.

Such a good weekend...
So, this past weekend was quite an eventful and fun weekend! On Friday, September 10th, me, Jonathan and Catherine left to go to Bangor for the weekend after we all got out of our classes.
The reason for going to Bangor for the reason is for the Jason Mraz concert! We got tickets like 2 months ago, along with some of our other friends!
Jonathan and I stayed at Catherine's house for the weekend, it was fun, I love her family, so friendly and fun :)
So we got there around 5ish, had dinner and were trying to decide what to do. Well, Alan Jackson (the country singer, incase you didn't know him) was performing at 8 at the Bangor Waterfront (same place Jason Mraz was going to be performing as well). We didn't have tickets, but we decided to go anyway. The Bangor Waterfront is all outdoor, so we sat on a hill right next to the stage and everything. So basically, free concert! He was really good too, I knew a lot of his songs because my dad and I used to listen to country all the time, and I remember quite a few of his songs because my dad liked Alan Jackson.
So the tour Alan Jackson is on right now is called "Freight Train Tour".. as we were walking by one of his trailers and walking up to where the concert was, a Freight train rolled by right in front of us. Weird, right?
There's the beginning of the Freight train.... and it was a LONG train.
So Saturday, September 11th, was finally the day of the Jason Mraz concert! It wasn't until 8pm though.. so what to do during the day to pass the time? Started out doing homework, but Jonathan, Catherine, Jon (Catherine's brother) and I ended up going to a car show at the Bangor Waterfront (haha 2nd time there in one weekend).
I love car shows so I was pretty excited. Jonathan was all serious and told us at least one fact about almost every car we walked by, but it was still fun!
Here are some pictures I took of some of the cars I liked and some cars that I just thought were ridiculous and kind of pointless..
So this was a GMC Duramax Diesel.. there was SO MUCH DETAIL put into this truck.. a little too much if you ask me.
This was the bed of that Duramax.. all polished wood and a mirror on the top and in the back.. just too much.
Soooo... I have nothing against Neons, personally I'll never own one, but I mean this neon just made me laugh, who does this much to a Neon? When all the cars were leaving at the end of the show, they were allowed to do a small burnout.. this thing could barely even spin the tires.
A Chrysler Sebring. Definitely would not be my first choice of car to put so much money into.. especially the graphics all over it.. not my thing, but for some people it is, so hey, good for them!
Oh yeahh, gotta have the good ol' VDub! It was a GTI VR6. Sexy. ;)
Gotta have the Audi too... VDub's and Audi's go hand in hand :)
And of course, the Mustangs :) These were the newer models, the older models were on the other side.
One of the older model Mustangs, can't remember what year, but it was niceee ;)
Of courseee, a Chevelle. Love it. :)
So anyway, the car show was awesome. Lots of really cool cars. Then we went home, got ready, the rest of our friends who were coming to the concert came over to Catherine's so we could all have dinner. Catherine's mom cooked for us, she's a veryy good cook :)
Robert Francis was the opening performer for Jason Mraz. I had never heard of him before, but he was really good!
We originally started way in the back (still not that far away from the stage) in General Admission. Then we moved down the right side of where the seated people were, still in General Admission, but we were closer to the stage. Then the security people opened the gates and let us go down into the pit area where people payed $50 to be down there and we only payed $25 :)
So we started out this far away, in the back in General Admission.
Then we moved down the right side of the gate, still in General admission, and were about this far away.. a lot closer.
Then the security opened the gate and we got to go down to the pit area and we were this close! Sooo closeee! JASON MRAZ! :)
Overall, the concert was absolutely amazing. I didn't know every single song that he sang, but it was still so much fun! He's an awesome performer.. I like him better in person than on the radio! If that even makes sense? Well it does to me :)
All-in-all, it was a fantastic weekend! Had such a good time with all of my friends that were able to go :)

Back to school once again
So, I may or may not have forgotten about my blog since my last post. That would be because I was working so much that I might as well of been living at Hannaford.
Nothing exciting really happened since my last post anyway.. just work, everyday. I worked my first 10 hour shift, and then I had an 11 hour shift the week after. They never schedule shifts longer than 9 hours.. once in a while they might give someone a 9 1/2 hour shift, but no longer than that. The day of my 10 hour shift, I was only supposed to work an 8 hour shift.. 12 to 8, but my friend Kyle asked me to take his shift which was 10 to 3.. I was already working so I told him I would ask a shift leader if it would work if I just went in at 10 instead of 12 so I'd be there 10 to 8.. a 10 hour shift. They said yes, and that felt like the longest shift ever.. I didn't think it would ever end, but I got through it. :)
That week I had taken a couple peoples shifts and stayed later on a couple of my shifts so I got some extra hours.. I ended up working 39.95 hours. We're not allowed to have 40 or more hours because that would be considered full time.
Then the week after they asked me to stay later when I was working 9:45 to 6.. so i ended up staying til 8:45.. making that an 11 hour shift.. that was brutal.
So anyway.. here I am back at Farmington for my Sophomore year of college.. summer went by sooo fast. It probably felt shorter to me because I took a May term and was here 4 extra weeks after everyone left for the summer, but I'm glad I did it because I got another class out of the way.
This year I'm living in Lockwood with all of my friends and rooming with one of my friends I met last year, Alyssa. I'm so happy we're all back together again and I'm hoping I'll have a much better year this time :)
Today was the first day of classes.. and so far so good! Only one class tomorrow, and 2 classes on Friday then I'm going home for a 3 day weekend! Should be fun :)
Almost forgot.. my mom and I and my godparents and their daughter always rent the same beach house every year on the same week.. the first week of August.
It's always a lot of fun, and it's good to see them because they live in Mass. so I never really get to see them!
Here are some pictures from the week at the beach house:
Of course we had to go out Jeepin' in the wrangler :)
Yes, we are on an air mattress. My friends and I invented Air Mattress Surfing a couple years ago. We take it out in the ocean and you try and stay on it over waves.
So pretty :)
It would be better without the power lines, but it's still pretty!
Meaghan and I the day we all went shopping.
Also during this week, I went to the Paramore Honda Civic Tour concert with my friends Kelley and Taylor. We all love Paramore, and we also saw Kadawatha, New Found Glory and Tegan & Sara perform before Paramore came on stage! It was an awesome concert and we had really good seats! Here are some pictures:
Me, Kelley and Taylor before the concert started :)
Kadawatha performing.. they're a band from Sweden.
New Found Glory :)
Tegan and Sara performing!
Paramore!! :)
Hayley Williams :)
I'm also going to a concert on September 11th.. Jason Mraz! I'm going with a bunch of my friends from school, I can't wait!
So after the Jason Mraz concert.. I will of been to 4 concerts this year! That's a record for me haha. Before all the concerts this year.. I had been to like 3 or 4 concerts in my lifetime.. so now it will be about 8 :)
I'm sure I'll be back on track now with posting blogs regularly because I'm back at school!
