Professionally:
In or having finished an MFA program (I applied to programs in 2010 and was not accepted, I plan to reapply in the upcoming year...)
Having made money for my writing (I have made money for my dramaturgical work, does that count?)
Write at least one full-length play a year (I've done this, full-length plays include: Fee, Midnight Clear, Sezze Sun, and The Tutor, working on my fifth)
A production in New York or London (1 month+ run) (technically I have not had a one month run, but two 3-week runs and a fringe show)
2 or 3 directors I like working with (this used to scare me a lot. it doesn't anymore, which is nice)
Something published (a monologue of mine will be published in an upcoming Best of 2012 monologue book)
An agent (this eludes me still)
Exploring other mediums (novel, screenplay, teleplay) (I've started two novels and written a first draft of a screenplay, that counts as exploring, right?)
Teaching? (i love the question mark here)
Personally:
Learn a new language (unless you count British English, this was not accomplished)
Have a pet (seriously, a pet? what was I thinking??)
Be in (or have been in) a healthy long-term relationship (does 3 months count as long-term? didn't think so. i've been in a number of unhealthy short-term relationships though!)
Exercise/maintain weight (flying colors! am in better shape now than in June 2007. suck it 23 year old me!)
Volunteer or some sort of charity work (hmm... I ran road races for charity? two birds one stone? nope, still kinda selfish)
Travel to at least 10 new countries (so far only six: Netherlands, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Bahamas, Switzerland)
Spend a month backpacking through Europe or somewhere before grad school or next major commitment (what a fucking dilettante I was back then! shoot me. though it would have helped me get my 10 new countries)
Drive cross-country (this is not at all hard and something I could actually do before June 2012, I've flown across the country only twice since 2007, but let's remember that 2 of those years I lived in London.)
Five more months to get some of these things done!!
