Although I don’t have much free time left according to my day planner, I really want to post a new update about my day zero project. In the last blog I promised to post it already last week, but I failed… ;-) I’ve been busy with one my personal development goals: apply for a scholarship of IFMA. The application had to contain several lists and it took me a while to think of the aspects I would like to mention and how to phrase that.
One of the assignments was to
write about my long term and short term goals for my career. In my first
English blog I mentioned something about how I feel my heart is somewhere else
(instead of with my current study), but
I’m not sure where...
Well, today
I would like share a part of the assignment I had to make for my application,
which will display a bit of my career dream:
To describe
what my short and long-term goals are, I must distinguish between two aspects; what
kind of leader I would like to be and where I would like to work.
[…] The second part I would like to explain is the field I would like to work in. Ever
since I saw the musical ‘The Lion King’ in The Netherlands I’ve developed a
great passion for the theatre. It’s like being in love; you feel that it’s
right and it gives you shivers, but you can’t really explain what makes you feel
that way. It’s not just the shows and performances, but when I visit the
theatre I’m constantly and every time again impressed by the organisation. The
decor, the costumes, the lighting, the music; everything is so well
fitted. It would be amazing to be a part
of that. I’m not sure yet where I would fit in, but I’m sure I want to fit in
somewhere. To get more familiar with the various aspects of the theatre, I want
to take a volunteer job in the short term.
In the end my dream is to run a respectable theatre, where the people work in harmony and they see me as their equal, who they can always turn to.

I think
some of you already knew about this dream, as I’m a bit of a musical fan. From the moment I came back from Bonaire I've been telling more people about this dream and some of them helped me making contact with somebody they know in theatres in Groningen. Besides that I've been applying for jobs, but untill now only a volunteer job is available. However, as I already have a job, I can also go for that volunteer job, just to get more familiar with all the aspects of the theatre. Also, seeing more shows would help! (maybe an idea for another goal for day zero?!)
Tonight I will also visit the theatre for one of my other goals: #24: Go to an opera or ballet performance. Already two years ago me and a good friend of mine promised each other to go see an opera performance. Because we both never saw one, but believed we would enjoy it. Tonight’s performance: Romeo & Juliette!

Status #48:
On the first of May I decided (or at least my body did) to stop drinking any alcohol
for a month. And so far I am successful! I have to say I have been avoiding
going out at night, so I made it myself easy. Just two more days to go! :D
I'm proud of you honey! Prachtig hoe je de aantrekkingskracht van het theater onder woorden brengt en dat je je doelen helder hebt omschreven voor de aanvraag. En heel gaaf dat je je doelen echt waar aan het maken bent, ben benieuwd naar de opera!
