Stage Managing

We call this tech week. It means that I (the stage manager) effectively live in the theatre... its great. Except that it doesn't give me time to do much work...besides stage manage. I literally get up. Go to class. Eat. Read for like 20 minutes. Go to rehearsal. Get out of rehearsal. Spend four hours sending e-mails to people about rehearsal and the show and what not. Go to sleep. Wake up. Do it again. MY LIFE WILL BE MINE AGAIN ON SUNDAY!

SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY!!

I'm so excited. I love stage managing. Its so much fun. BUT (the great verbal eraser), its so time consuming and it doesn't leave me anything in return. It's also a very thankless job. I mean, I get thanked. I do. But...its different. Well lord knows I'm not doing it again until next semester when I'll have more time and I'll better know what to do.

My posts will be coming tomorrow. I've been writing. Just not posting. This is bad. Very bad. I know. I apologize. Or do I? I made my decision to work more on the show than on my other duties, so I take full responsibility for everything. I'm just tired. I'm going to go sleep now...after I send more e-mails.

It never ends.
