I'll admit, I haven't been the most consistent on this blog for awhile. I feel like my hey-days in blogging were back in 2009 and part of 2010 while I simply fell off the wagon in 2011 and have only occasionally written since.
As with most people, quite a bit has changed. I completed a year with AmeriCorps, where I worked with middle school students in the inner city. I temped at a cancer organization for nine months and am now in a position at a different company that has me working in education and also works on international issues. I do love my job though I'm still getting used to the learning curve (I've only been there a month). I like my colleagues a lot and they're prepping me for high level projects. In between, I'm taking voice lessons, singing in my church choir and planning a wedding that will be Catholic, Italian, with a bit of an untraditional bent. I'm also trying to see my friends more. In addition, I'm trying to get the apartment organized and build an exercise routine that I'll actually maintain.
There really isn't anything earth-shattering happening. Right now, I'm just grateful that my life isn't as hectic as it used to be. Once Iactually practice build up my voice more and can start putting together a good repetoire, I'd like to seek performance opportunities. My companion and I are talking about Peace Corps or some other long-term abroad opportunity for a couple years after we wed. Then, there are ideas of grad school, claiming my dual citizenship, possibly having a baby or two, maybe running at least one marathon......
The one thing I don't want to do is lose sight of my dreams. But right now, it's about organization and prioritization. With that, I see a corner of old papers that has my name on it.
