Break time between shows consists of me not wearing shoes and drinking sweet tea.

Barefoot is best in front of a console.

Headaches and hand drafting and fuck this shit I need a beer.

That awkward moment when

the deck crew witnesses you “waking up” the movers and scrollers during dimmer check at the beginning of the night, and saying goodnight to the movers, by name, at the end of the night.

“Goodnight Pilze, sweet dreams Foamy, sleep well scrollers!”

They all think I’m crazy. So awesome.

Tech week Sydney style: two seats so I’m a little taller and actually close enough to the console to program. Welcome to being short.

Things I did at work today:

• Cut my hand on chicken wire
• Discussed how the 1st amendment should be used
• Sat under a platform with my wrench waiting to get a fresnel out of one of the “trees”
• Compared the PA and MD public school systems
• Realized that no one truly knows what a pterodactyl sounds like - “What if they growled like bears? No one says they have to sound similar to birds…”

First time working on the lathe in carpentry yesterday. Look at me go!

Is it bad that I’m afraid of growing up again?

Realizing that I’m an adult was fine.
Coming to terms with college loans sucked but I managed.
Not knowing shit about taxes or any sort of business lingo isn’t good but I’ll figure it out.

But I think the fact that in 3 years I’ll be graduating college and have to be a “big girl” is scaring the shit out of me. Do I want to design, do I want to be an ME, do I want to program? Concert lighting or theatre? Am I ever going to know enough about moving lights to program the Road Hog without looking like a dumbass?

I know that I’m smart otherwise I wouldn’t be where I am, I’ve just always had this subconscious fear that I don’t know enough and will just embarrass myself. I know Garth wouldn’t have pushed me if I was stupid and I know Forrest wouldn’t have said what he did, but I still fear that I don’t know enough.

I’m hoping that when I take Intro to Lighting with Skip this semester I’ll feel a bit better about myself…

My design class is basically adult arts and crafts. I love it.

Walked into the Rockwell after my lunch break today and the first thing I saw was a helium filled motor powered shark that was “swimming” in the air above my head.

This is why I love my job and I love Point Park.

The electrics room. My locker is the blue one in the corner.

Just bought my stage management textbook for $2.50, which costs less than the shipping for it. I’m the queen of Amazon.
