Time to revisit my goals and see how I done did...
1. Audition for something, anything.
Status: Fail
2. Take one of the following classes: dance, piano, acting, or voice.
Status: Semi-Fail
I found a voice teacher, but our schedules didn't mesh up until 2011.
3. Get my passport.
Status: Fail
Oops.
4. Buy (and wear) a dress (I haven't bought a dress in FIVE years. Five!)
Status: Win!
Twice.
5. Gussy up and attend the SF Ballet's Nutcracker (I performed in it 15 years ago. Lordy, I'm old.)
Status: Fail, with a caveat.
There weren't any performances while I was in town.
6. Read three books for fun (last year I only managed two, believe it or not.)
Status: Win!
I read Snowflower and the Secret Fan, Shanghai Girls, and The Kitchen God's Wife. I also ordered a bunch of new books to hit in 2011.
7. Visit one new place.
Status: Multiple wins.
Georgia, Tennessee, and Kentucky, baby. Ooooh yeah.
8. Attend more shindigs (in other words, try not to turn down invitations).
Status: Multiple wins.
I can tell I've been more social just from the number of pictures I've been tagged in on Facebook.
9. Photograph stuff. Lots of stuff.
Status: Win!
My fancy new camera died in a tragic Diet Coke accident, but I replaced it and moved on. Yay pigtures!
10. At 11:59 PM on December 31st, feel like this: :-D
Status: Win. Oh. Yes.
New Year's Eve, for the first time in ages, was full of win.
Final score: 6/10
By academic standards, 60% is not great. In terms of making memories for a life well-lived, I think it's fantastic. Here's to a fan-freaking-amazing-tastic 2011.
