It's......Been So Long

First things first. Two snaps for me because I've completed my first grad school class. Woo-Hoo! I only missed one class, I facilitated a session (and my lesson was well received), and I wrote not one but TWO papers -- a five pager and a 16-page bad boy I named Ellipses. I'm waiting for a grade, but I would be surprised if I did not do well. (Of course, I could get a B and that would suck. I'm really aiming for an A.)

Second, my Hoyas are 7-3 for the season thus far, though that could change since they were supposed to play Towson tonight. Given the way the Hoyas played in my day, the record is not bad. And I don't think they're ranked, either. That sucks, too.

Let's see, TV has been a complete bore. Both Heroes and Lost are on hiatus. Smallville and Supernatural are re-running. But gawd, next month is going to be so sweet! 24 is back, woo-hoo! And Heroes will come current on Jan. 22. So it's all good.

I doubt I'm going to get the chance to blog again before the year is out, so here are my resolutions for the coming year. These are not in any particular order, by the way, these are just the first things that come to mind.

1) Hunker down and study for the LAST, ECST, and GRE. Complete applications.
2) Find a new job, because I can't take the abuse anymore! Let's hope that recruiter hooks me up with something sweet.
3) Auditions and open mics. And maybe I should start recording again, too.
4) Celebrate my birthday in style. I'm old. I want fun in the sun, but I think it takes more than 24 hours to get a passport.
5) Start going to the gym again. Not because I need to lose weight, but because I really miss working out.
6) Give more love to my family and my man, and show love to the friends who've really stood by me.
7) Blog more. And about stuff that matters, too. I'm dying to dabble in some poli-talk.
8) Take a wine-tasting class, and possibly a knife techniques/cooking course. I chop all wrong.
9) Pray more.
10) Commit to getting most, if not all, of these things checked off before yearend 2007.

It's been swell, y'all, truly. Here's to finishing 2006 with style and grace and ushering in new beginnings in 2007.

Happy Holidays!
