Christmas break has been absolutely splendid, so far, thanks for asking.
I haven't been updating lately (obviously) for reasons both on purpose and by accident.
By Accident- Yes, I've forgotten a bit.
On Purpose- This blog was meant to be more about my life while I'm at college.... and I'm not at college right now!!!
That being said, I will make this post my write-up about the new year, but won't start blogging again regularly until I get back to school on the eleventh.
I made some New Year's resolutions, as I always do, but this year they're much less ambitious than normal. The list includes practicing more (both acting and singing), taking a challenge sometime in the year to do something new every day for a month, trying (at least for two weeks) to go for what I'm calling a prayer walk (going for a walk for the purpose of using that time to do nothing but pray...and walk), get a real job (although, it's a bit awkward when that happens before the New Year starts... guess what happened today? :)), and getting caught up with my scrapbooks (finally)
Something I tried last year that worked a lot better than normal resolutions was to give myself an overarching goal for the year. For 2013, this goal was to Grow- mentally, emotionally, spiritually, you name it, that was the goal.
Looking back... I don't think I accomplished it. In some ways, I definitely grew up; I moved out to LA for college and lived on my own for a few months, I transitioned out of high school and out of what was considered normal back home, I learned a lot, and I became more mature an adultlike, I guess, but even in all of this, I still feel like a six year old in the body of an eighteen year old whenever someone mentions Disney. This is just one example of the times when I think I'm really not that mature at all. I guess I have my moments. I guess, in general, it's really hard to judge if I've grown or not, in any category of growth. Maybe because it's something that's meant to be observational, or maybe because I just haven't grown much if at all. Or, maybe it's just meant to be a process this slow.
Nevertheless, I'm setting a new overarching goal for 2014- work. By Work, I don't just mean literally working, but also working hard, not being lazy, being proactive, and really making some steps toward accomplishments in the next year. I'm hoping to audition for Disneyland again, audition more in general (maybe for more than just productions on campus!), read a whole lot more (especially plays), and just work towards becoming the type of person I want to be. I want to make every moment, even those where I'm relaxing or having fun, be productive somehow or someway. We'll see.
What are your resolutions?
No matter what they are, I genuinely hope that you, whoever you are that's reading this, have a very, very happy New Year.
Fight on, and see you in 2014 my friends!!!
