Things I'd Like to do After I Graduate

People keep asking me that infernal question, " So what do you plan to do after you graduate?"
As that date starts sneaking up on my like the sneaky little thing it is, I've begun contemplating some things that I would like to start doing or pick back up on once I'm done calling myself a student. My last day of undergrad classes *ever* is August 21, and after that, my time is severely freed up.
*Get back into volunteering at the animal shelter.
*Learn to sew and start making my own clothes. I've already bookmarked a lot of patterns that I want to try.
*Read for leisure. Next book on my list: Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis.
*Commit to a stringent workout plan and continue building up muscle mass.
*Get back into painting, knitting, and other crafts I used to do.
*Get back into a habit of keeping in touch with my friends and family.
*Start planning my wedding.
*Look around the country for where I may want to go to find job opportunities.
*Look into moving to Puerto Rico for a brief stay, six months to a year.
*Re-engage with my church, the young adult group, and Buddhist studies.
*Read and write articles in Spanish to build up a portfolio. Possibly subscribe to a Spanish-language magazine. I have a few bookmarked on Amazon.
*Participate in my community and spend less time lounging around the house.
Are there things that you think I should add to this list? This is, of course, not all-inclusive; that is, there's more that I want to do with my life than just these things. But these are the things I'd like to pick up relatively soon after I'm done with school.
