2011: Rekindle


"Tell me,
what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?"
-Mary Oliver


I'm a sucker for new year's resolutions. I love the freshness of them and how hopeful they are. Nothing like alcohol and a ball dropping on tv to make people reconsider their lives.

My hopes and goals for this year are as follows:


  • Respond to all communications
    • Facebook, text, phone, email and otherwise.
  • Be punctual.  
  • 3 A's.  
    • I'm smarter than my current GPA - I need to do better. 
  • Produce, direct, and act in 'Closer'. 
    •  I read this play in my acting class and fell in love with it. It's sexy and cynical, and it came to mean a lot to me this past year. A good friend of mine and I have great plans to make this show everything it can be. 
  • 7 hours of sleep a night!
    • More sleep = a prettier, more intelligent, friendlier Melyssa. It's important. 
  • Pole dancing lessons
