sartorias:
1. I didn't go to the first Simon and Garfunkel reunion concert in Central Park. I had just started college in Massachusetts, after growing up in Idaho, and I chickened out, even though a friend from the dorm was going and said I could go with her.
2. I didn't go The Who's farewell concert in Shea Stadium. My roommate and one of her friends were going, and we even had a floor to crash on afterwards, but again, I just didn't feel comfortable with the plan and chickened out.
3. I didn't co-write a monograph on "Oxymandias" with Virginia Ellis, my freshman English professor. We'd been discussing the poem during office hours, and we both at the same time (I could the light go on in her eyes just as it hit mine) had the same insight into the structure of the poem, and she asked if I wanted to co-write a monograph with her about it. I chickened out and said no.
While I regret all three of these, it does make me realize that I have done lots of things I haven't regretted that were also outside my comfort zone. Also, at least I don't have ten of them. :-)
