Minneapolis Woman Stumbles Across Old Diary, Laughs so Hard Stomach Hurts

I've kept diaries almost constantly since I was a little kid. I was moving them around while cleaning tonight, and decided to take a peek. I opened to a page where I had drawn up a plan for my life. I was 18 or so. Really, this is embarassing, but too hilarious not to share...if not for the content, then for the precision with which I had everything planned out:

Age 23: Graduate from college
Age 24: Work on a cruise ship (travel/see world)
Age 26: Work as au pair
Age 27: Get warehouse-type studio to create art, fashion, music, and write
Age 28: Go to med school (how long does med school take?)
Age 32: Get married
Ages 33, 35, 36: Have kids
Ages 36-54 (or maybe 48): be a happy housewife, no job, write books, design clothes
When kids are grown, begin career.
