I remember many times having the experience, first, of going through a new calendar and filling in the important dates - birthdays, Rugby League season kick-off and Grand Final, that kind of thing, and then later, having that long-anticpated date actually roll around and realizing it's finally here, right now.
When I lived in Sydney we sometimes subscribed to whole seasons of theatre, either at the Belvoir Street (especially when we lived on Belvoir Street, right across the road), or at the Sydney Theatre Company downtown. You'd get the tickets in like October or November, and there was always one for not the next January but two Januaries hence. Putting those dates in the calendar (usually on the back page where you could sketch out whole year plans) always really felt like an act of faith. And when those finally rolled around, and were this weekend, and then were today, that really did feel like a milestone.
