Today is day three of my Pennsylvania break. In the last two weeks I have accomplished a lot. I'm not trying to toot my own horn, but it's been overwhelming. I dealt with the aftermath of the flu, difficulties with my landlord, I graduated with a BFA in Acting and a minor in Linguistics, finished filming a short film, I went to NYC and did a showcase, I also auditioned for things (like South Pacific) and saw four shows for less than $150. After all that excitement I was more than happy to take the train out and drive the remaining three hours home to green, green, green.
Highlights of the time at home have so far been the following:
-Pizza and brew with the family as the first family meal together in a while
-My dad making me watch the youtube thing of that Scottish lady who astounded everyone on Britain's Got Talent... it was pretty astounding
-Going to the Amish store to buy things for our garden and reduced candy
-6 Mile hike up to the top of Heiner View and back... got to do some trail running
-Finishing a novel in two days... love that Jonathan Safran Foer
-Doing questionable activity with my mother and sister that may or may not have involved "trespassing" in order to pick some lilacs for my grandmother
-Helping my mum plant her Christmas tree farm... she wants to grow Christmas trees so that when us kids are grown up we can afford to get real Christmas trees for our house and it will make us come visit her for the holidays
Right now I'm weighing out where I should work and live this summer. I can't figure it out. And I really need to! But I'm taking it a day at a time. It's nice to finally not be doing twenty things at one time. I feel like clarity is actually entering my brain. I'm able to actually look at my life and go... okay where am I going? ...what do I want? ... how do I get there?
Goals:
-Get voice lessons
-SAVE $$$$
-Live somewhere that doesn't make me feel dead
-Maybe save enough that I could one day go to Australia and visit Kate and then backpack New Zealand... :)
