March 18th

On this day in history:

In 1584 Russian Czar Ivan IV, or Ivan The Terrible, died at age 53.

In 1766, after months of American protests,
Britain repealed the Stamp Act.

In 1965 Soviet cosmonaut Aleksei Leonov
made the first spacewalk.

In 1990 the biggest art theft in U.S. history occured at the
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. 
The works, including pieces by Vermeer and Rembrandt,
were never recovered.

In 2004 a small asteroid made the closest approach to Earth
ever recorded, only about 26,500 miles away.

In 2009 Paul Rasband reported to the 
Provo Missionary Training Center.


In the last year I have:

Turned twenty. 

Traveled to England, Wales, France and Spain.
 
Started running with the goal to run a half marathon in May.
 
Decided to declare a Chemistry minor and changed my plans about graduate school.
  
Cut off more than a total of 12 inches of hair, and cut bangs for the first time since third grade.

In the next year I plan to:

Actually run my half marathon.

Get the most out of my last year of college:  
good friends and good grades :)

Do something with my London pictures.  Editing them would be a great start.

Be friendlier.

Live with Suzy, just like we always planned.

Be happy.  Every day.
