February, March, now April

Sticking to my goals:

Professional: Applied for a shot-in-the-dark scholarship through the Americans for the Arts, and actually got it!!! I'm now one of their "Emerging Leaders of Color" representing the midwest at national meetings. Woo hoo!

Creative: Bought some 30' by 40' canvases for my big painting/ sculpture project. Also, will be performing this summer. I auditioned and got into a performance project at the Guild Complex Chicago with some powerful poets and artists, and a great director.

Personal: Ran the shamrock shuffle with my family and Kart. Ran my fastest time yet: 10 minute miles. My legs and back were killing me the next day. I'm getting too old for all this "moving muscles" mumbo jumbo.

On a family tip, mom went to Vipassana (where she'll be for her bday..)(Dad just got back, loved it, and convinced her to do it), my beautiful Dada is in town, Vimal's interviewing for his next step, and Vish is almost done with her first year of college.

And two more another-one-bites-the-dust bachelorette parties in Vegas this year. I don't understand the facination with Vegas (every building's bigger than the last, almost naked women, binge drinking, gambling, bright lights, all-u-can-eat buffets... it's what happens when men have unlimited amts of $ to build a city...)
Eeeesh.
