Inspiration

I went to a session today with the Production Stage Manager at CTC, Jenny Friend. She inspired me to just be courageous and to work hard. Those of you who know me know that I actually enjoy working hard (even though I also enjoy bitching about it), so it's pretty cool to meet others who have and do work hard and lead very enjoyable lives. Tonight I'm going to look up some more things about graduate school and write her a thank you note. I want to have a more in-depth discussion with her that focuses more on what I would like to do, because I feel that she would be willing to help walk me through that. Also, I want to talk to the Technical Director. She (that's right, it's a woman!) is also a very hard worker and I feel that she would have a lot to offer in a conversation. I am going to try to set up times to talk to them and I would love to find time to talk to my lighting supervisor as well, though she has seemed overwhelmingly busy getting ready for all of the shows that are getting ready to open in a few weeks. I'll definitely make sure to ask her though, because at the very least, she should be able to find a time for me after the shows open and my internship has finished. At that point, I will be able to meet with her at any point in the day while I'm still here in the cities. In the meantime, my goal is to do some research on what I would like to do with my life and come up with some really concise questions for them.

As for the rest of the day, it was spent fixing moving lights with Steve. It was cool, but not exciting enough to write about tonight. The only other exciting thing is that Matt will be back in the cities tomorrow (yay!) and I'm spending time with him and Trevor on Saturday. I'm going to stop there because my carpal tunnel syndrome is massively irritated from the work we've been doing. Have a great night and try not to let the sucky words you say get you down!
