Revisit 23 for 23

If you recall, on my 23rd birthday, I made this list of 23 things I want to do this year...with about 5 months until my 24th, I thought I should actually revisit this list and see what I have to do with my life!

23 for my 23rd year:

2. 2. Visit 3 new cities BAHAHA ummmm...does York count? I have been to Houston (even though pretty much all I saw was a job fair) and Baltimore (I have been there before...but when I was really young...so I am counting it as a new city!)

3. 3. Get a REAL teaching job- CHECK!

4. 4. Move to a new city- CHECK!! bahaha ooo York, PA!
