Counting Down to G-Day in 135

I have a really bad track record with New Year resolutions. As in, I can’t even remember if I made one last year. Three hundred and sixty-five days is too long for me to hold myself too. It seems like a long time, and it did feel like a long time when I wrote my first countdown post.

As of January 1, 2014, I have approximately one hundred and thirty-five days until commencement which equals one semester left of college. And then two hundred and thirty days of doing I don’t know what for the remainder of 2014. Does anyone else see the irony in being a tarot reader who doesn’t know her own future?

In spirit of this unknowable-ness that is my future, I give myself until graduation (G-Day) to fulfill. Maybe with a closer deadline and the Green Room bloggers, I can keep to it my second G-word: goals.

• Raise money for a local woman’s shelter through our annual production of The Vagina Monologues.
• Put together a video reel with footage from my upcoming film class but also hopefully from a student film I hope to be cast in.
• Get cast in the student film!
• Have headshots done.
• Pass my three SPTs in Broadsword, Knife and re-test in Single Sword before finally applying for Actor-Combatant status with the Society of American Fight Directors.
• Have work lined up before graduation.
• Enjoy every little moment of every day until I graduate.

That’s all for January – May 2014. Here’s what I’ve got planned for the rest of that year: figure it out. I want to use this year to figure out what I want to do and where am I going to go to do that. I’ve already narrowed down the where and what – now I got to decide HOW am I going to do just that.

Step One: work for theatre companies offering pay and housing so I’ll have a place to stay while I save up for the where.

Step Two: use the time I’m working to figure it out before 2015 – I want to celebrate the New Year in my new home out there in the real world.

Hold on, Green Room Blog readers – it’s going to be one crazy semester.
