My usual MO for the summer is to plot really ridiculous plans; not because I think they’ll actually work out, but because they’re fun to imagine (i.e. The Hot Air Balloon experiment of last summer… not even close to enough funds to consider actually trying to build my own hot air balloon, but I learned a lot and had fun planning and designing, so it was ok).
This summer, I’m still going to do those kinds of things, but with the addition of setting some actual realistic and achievable goals. Here’s what I’ve got as of the last day of school:
1. Learn to cartwheel (figured this one out about a week ago, thanks Kelsey Rispin)
2. Learn to juggle (I mean I can sort of juggle but it’s sloppy and bad-looking)
3. Learn to ride my bike without holding on to the handlebars
4. Bust out my the unicycle my mom got in college from the basement, pump up the tire, and learn to ride it
5. Learn more monolugues so I have more to fall back on
6. Worry less
7. YouTube all of the shows happening next year so I have a really good idea of what’s going on, whether I’m on the stage or behind it
8. If I’m feeling ambitious (and haven’t killed myself yet with the first two cycling escapades), learn to juggle and ride the unicycle at the same time – because that’d just be cool
I think that’s all. If I think of more later I will add them and I’ll be sure to post more later how things are progressing (especially in regards to the unicycle because I imagine that’s going to result in some really amusing stories).
Have a good summer everybody!
