I'm focused on a few big things at the moment:

1. Graduate from Ithaca College with a degree in Music Performance, and a Minor in Jazz Studies.  Ithaca College is a great music school, and I fully intend to make the most of my time here.
2. Gain full fluency in Spanish. I have been working for years on and off on speaking Spanish, and I have gotten to a point where I can mostly understand Spanish, but not speak it perfectly. I will continue my efforts, and hopefully become fluent.
3. Live outside of the United States for a few years. This goal is heavily related to the previous goal, as it would require fluency in Spanish to facilitate. I do not know exactly where I would want to live (most likely Mexico or Cuba) but that choice will be made once goal 2 is met.
4. Survive as a musician and be happy with my life. This goal is a bit heavier than my other goals, but it means the most to me. I want to be able to live the life of music, and I will do whatever is needed to facilitate that.
