Tangent: I wish that there was a class on how to deal with awkward interpersonal situations. Maybe it could be offered in junior high, since that's when this business starts to begin. Or maybe in conjunction with the maturation seminar which most schools seem to offer. I know that topics like gossip and bullying are touched on, but what about the ever-present "love triangle?" Or whether or not to tell your friend if their significant other is cheating on them? I have a feeling that advice on these things could really be beneficial. Rather than sitting in the corner going, "Okay, so... now I should...?" people might have the chance to make an informed social choice and be proactive.
Just sayin'.
Today was a good day. No classes, due to UTA, so I got to sleep in. Turned in my time card, helped Mom and Monica in the costume shop (kinda), and then went to dinner with my family for Dad's birthday. From there, I proceeded to rehearsal, where I was hung. :)
During my down-time, I had a really good chat with Whitney. We talked about a bunch of different stuff, but eventually came back to Macbeth. I really appreciate how supportive both she and Travis have been -- it's been great to have so much encouragement, not to mention the opportunity to work with such talented people. I'm endlessly happy to know them, and I came out of rehearsal feeling more happy than ever that I'm attending good ol' Dixie State. The atmosphere in the department has been incredibly positive thus far, and I can't wait to see where it goes from here. Hopefully things only become more pleasant as we draw closer to opening.
I'm excited for this weekend. It'll be nice to have a teensy bit of down-time... maybe I can work on my Irene Ryan material/design display some more? I guess we'll see.
its so super awesome to hear all this good positive news. it seemed everything was falling apart right as i left and now it feels like things are restoring themselves and that the theater family is getting stronger! warms my heart! *sniff*
