So I thought given it's been a year since I graduated College and I'm no where near where I would like to be...I'd write out some goals for myself.
For those of you who don't know me, I went to school for Theatre and got my BA after 4 years only to do nothing with it come a year later. I've seen first hand what it's like living as the "starving artist" and I can honestly say it's not for me.
The truth is I have no idea what I want to do with my life right now...I have a lot of ideas but they're scattered at best. Since graduation I've worked 3 different jobs.
First and only theatre gig: Temp-Hire Stage Hand/Costume Assistant at Gala Hispanic Theatre in DC
Second kill my feet and soul job: Lowe's Cashier and Customer Service Rep
Last but not least: Receptionist extraordinaire for an Online Campaigns and PAC Services agency...
All of which I've been very grateful to have given the current status of our economy. However, some days are harder than others to appreciate this job security. I'm happy financially with this job but oh dear I was never meant to sit behind a desk and stare at a computer screen 10 hours a day....oyh.
So to give myself a little boost here are things I dream about, look forward to, and wish to accomplish one day:
~Open up my own Cafe and thrifty store, where I can display and sale artwork of my own and friends, serve beautiful pastries and treats, host open mic nights and variety singing cabarets... dreaming...
~Road trip down to FL to see good friends, family, Mickey Mouse and possibly Harry Potter with my boyfriend :)....happening June 2010!!
~Have a hair cut I actually enjoy and feel confident in

~Write a children's book or play
~Be in another film I can be proud of

I'm sure the list could go on and on but that's that for now!
