078. Estate planning

To complete this goal:  Put together and sign both a will and living will.  Keep a copy in my parents' safety deposit box, make sure they and my brother know and accept my wishes.

Why?  I'm trying to make sure I have all my ducks in a row, like a responsible adult.  And if, god forbid, something should happen to me and I am incapacitated, I want to be sure those that love me know what my wishes are.

077. CPR/Basic first aid Certification

To complete this goal:  Train and receive either American Red Cross or American Heart Association certification in CPR and/or Basic first aid.

Why?  I've always felt like this is important information for me to know regardless, but considering my interest in teaching, it seems like a natural advantage for me to get certified.  Plus, while I'm still in school, I can do the training more conveniently and more cheaply.

076. Take the GRE

To complete this goal:  Study, register for and take the GRE.

Why?  Well, I need it to apply for a second masters, if that's what I decide to do.  Funnily enough, I didn't have to take it to apply for the MM in performance.  It's almost a pride thing, too- I want to prove that I can do really well on what is admittedly an arbitrary standardized test.

075. Look into second masters degrees

To complete this goal:  Explore what my options are for second masters degrees and figure out what I need to do to apply for them.

Why?  I wish I could have fit more pedagogy/psychology of teaching classes into my first MM, as well as completing either the Nonprofit or Arts and Cultural Management and Entrepreneurship portfolio programs.  I don't think I want to continue on to another performance degree (DMA), so a second masters might be the best idea.

074. Get my driver’s license

To complete this goal:  Take the practical driving test and have the restrictions taken off my learner's permit.

Why?  Ugh, at some point I really will have to get a car.  Also, it's getting a bit sad to be almost 24 and still only have a learner's permit (to be fair, I didn't get my permit until I was 22).  This must happen.

073. Earn my masters degree

To complete this goal:  Obvious.  Finish my masters degree (and walk!)

Why?  As of now, I am halfway through my MM.  Though I know this is something I will complete no matter what, and some might consider that to be a cheat goal, it is very important to me, so I put it on here.
