I went to the Kelli O'Hara cabaret at the KenCen on Friday with Scot and some of the rest of my musical theatre class. Good grief is that woman incredible. But that's not the point. The point is that I would kill to be doing what she's doing. And it seems almost easy - she's human. She went through the same public school system, did the whole arts major in college thing. Was one of the hundreds of girls lining up for open calls in New York after she graduated.

I know the odds are totally against me in my profession. One in a million. But sometimes it feels like I could be that one. I could be that lucky resume that gets put ahead of the pack and moves on to do big things.

Things I need to do before I graduate in order to help myself be that lucky resume:
1. Learn how to introduce myself to people who can help me. Lord knows I'm going to enough opening nights where I find myself around important people in the DC Theatre scene. Let's start using that to my advantage.
2. Save money for headshot & resume copies. Start a mailing list of where to send said H&Rs around graduation.
3. Draft a cover letter to send out with H&Rs.
4. Find somewhere to boost my dance skillz.
5. Start searching for monologues and reading plays, plays and more plays.
