The year of the bear

This year is a learning year for me in many ways. Many people often say that you learn everything you need in college, but for me it has been mostly in the year after graduating from college. I always thought when I graduated from college that I would have my whole life figured out, know exactly what I want to do. My life has been the opposite of my predictions. In fact, this year is about throwing my eggs in a million baskets in hopes that I will find my calling or something that I can feel so passionate about that I'm willing to devote my life to it.

Plans for this year:
1) Apply for Teach for America.
2) Apply for grad school just in case.
3) Run the Disney Princess Half-Marathon.
4) Attend auditions in NYC throughout the year as well as at other local theatres throughout the rest of the season.
5) Continue subbing in the lower school at Saint Andrew's.
6) Finish the application for my teaching certification in Florida.

Throwing eggs in many baskets is the only way to figure it out. Thank goodness I eat eggs.

Maybe it's time

You breathe, you learn, you lose.
You take, you break, you choose.
And as, you learn, and cry.
You do, your best, and try.

And as, the days, go by.
It makes you, wonder why.
You try so hard, so hard.
To mend what's bound to fall apart

Ooh maybe it's time
To let it go
Ooh maybe it's time
For taking it slow

Ooh maybe it's time, time, time
For anything at all
Time, time, time, to let it all fall
Where it may


And as, the world, goes on.
You try, to walk, and sing along.
And hope, some things, will stay.
And every tune that you play.

Ooh maybe it's time
To let it go
Ooh maybe it's time
For taking it slow

Ooh maybe it's time, time, time
For anything at all
Time, time, time, to let it all fall
Where it may

And as, your life, goes on.
You deal with, what comes along.
Some friends, they come, and stay.
Some leave and, go their way.
