new time and place

I thought that maybe when I moved away from everyone I would fall back into the habit of blogging as a way of keeping. Thus far this has not proven to be the case.

I do want to go back to the goals that I made on my birthday last year. They've been on my side bar all year. So I'm going to see how I did. I will make new goals for this year, but I don't think that I have it all figured out yet, so that may have to be a future post.

• 1. Be in at least one production

Yes! I was Mabel in Pirates of Penzance! fun!

• 2. Apply and get into summer program

I did apply and get waitlisted, but I did go to Egypt to visit Lisy. This is a goal for next year now.

• 3. Win a competition

I did not win a competition, but I did win money in a competition

• 4. Apply and get into Grad school

Yes! Totally accomplished! In Grad school!

• 5. Blog weekly

hahahahahahahahahaha! ...... no

• 6. Give a recital

Yes! I sang a recital of new music written by Michael Thorn in October!

• 7. Stay in touch with friends

I think so...?

• 8. Learn to knit or crochet

well you see...the thing is I tried, but then the cat swallowed a yard of my yarn, and I had to keep it in the closet, and I forgot about it. But for alittle bit there I was totally getting better

• 9. Run 3 times a week

Sometimes I did well with this, sometimes not so much...this is a constant goal in my life, I'm happier when I run

• 10. Mail Cards before Christmas

This was something of an epic fail. Noel and I decided to make a CD that we wanted to send as a christmas card, so I held off for that to be done....it's still not done

• 11. Be useful at work

I got a fantastic review from my boss....so that's good. I always feel like I need to do more for them though.

Soo, lets see:
3 definite yeses
3 definite noes
the rest are somewhere in between.

I don't feel too too bad about this. I think that my most important goals were accomplished, namely I applied and got into grad school.

Oh! and I totally got an article published in a news paper!!!! (sorry the link to the actual article is long gone, it was published in November)

So here I am in Boston. A new adventure in a new city. I'll try to let everyone know how it goes.
