Tuesday Trussing

Today we put together the truss structure for the fall rep plot. It is for the shows Suessical, Tommy, and Robin Hood. For short, we call it Robin hears the The Who. We all get a kick out of it. I spent several hours hauling and putting together 15' trusses and then spent a good hour labeling cables. After an hour with a fresh role of gaff tape, it hurts to pull it off the roll because it starts peeling off all of the layers of your skin where you're grabbing it and it hurts once you've gotten rid of the dead skin (about 15 minutes in). So I'm a tad sore today (both my back/arm/leg muscles and the skin on my fingers), but tomorrow we're hanging lights. My shoulders will be sore tomorrow, though we can lower the truss to a comfortable level instead of holding lights above our heads like we had to do yesterday when hanging from the bottom of the cats. It should be fun. I'm bringing my super awesome speed wrench that Matt gave me. It should be a good time.

Tonight I came home, cooked a pizza and watched Hell's Kitchen. Then I remembered that I was supposed to call Trevor back, so I finally did that and we talked for a while and worked some stuff out. Namely, the money I owe him from the roadtrip. It turned out to be less than $40, so I'm a happy camper. I also did some grad school research tonight. I have found a few schools that excite me and a few that I know I don't want to attend. I'm still planning on getting some professional experience before applying to schools, but this internship has really helped me figure out what I want to do with my life and the direction I would like to go.

Also today, I had someone check out my portfolio. She told me that I did a really great job with it and that I presented it well. That made me pretty happy and I look forward to presenting it to my supervisor on Thursday.

That's about all of the excitement in my life. I'm tired and going to bed, so suck less with the words, k? Love you all!
