the BREAKing of me

thanksgiving break has arrived. and i have been totally remiss in updating this chronicle of what it is to be in graduate school for an intangible art form. In the last four months I have designed DIVENTARE in the TheatreLab@855, assisted on Paula Vogel's A CIVIL WAR CHRISTMAS for the huntington theatre company, started work on the huntington opera SUSANNAH, begun to plan out the next two stops for DIVENTARE (NH and then NYC), and am halfway through tech for BATBOY at Harvard. *sigh*

also these four months: a tenfoot boom fell on top of me and hit me in the head. i declined to design INTO THE WOODS, but I took the classical club play. i became the second quarter graduate ME advisor for the Lighting Department. I became WAY better at drafting and I focused half of the huntington show that I assisted on--a process which was TERRIFYING. i find that i havent had a second to myself since school started---and that is just plain ridiculous. my mother asked me if it is always going to be like this--i just dont know.

and NOW: i have to sign up for classes for next semester...which i have failed to do. and i have to figure out my summer...AND what i want to do for my internship next year....!!!!! its all going by so fast--im basically halfway through my MFA....and that is scary.
