WHELP. It's that time of the year again. Time for the students...to have a week break to be thankful for what they got. And believe me, I am so thankful for the people I know, have worked with, and cherish dearly.
I'm very much looking forward to going home and seeing family this next week, I have missed every single one of you since...well, I can't actually remember the last time I saw everyone. So this will be exciting!
This week has kind of been a slow one, but if not relaxing. Have finally been able to get home before 6 pm as of late, allowing me time for reading, drawing and catching up further with homework. Ah...post show vacation is always a good thing.
For those of you expecting me home, I will not leave until Wednesday morning for I still have some homework I need to finish that requires a sewing machine and looooooots of space for sketches and what not. Oh, and looking for a job to have when I get back from vacation.
So for the remainder of the weekend, I am sending good thoughts and wishes towards y'all and I hope you guys have a good weekend! Later~

11/12 ...Wow.
What. A. Week.
WELL, A Streetcar Named Desire finally opens tonight, but SOU sponsored a student preview night filled with mardis gras masks, food, and fun, so technically I consider opening night last night.
Had to watch the show five times beforehand, but other than that I think it went swell.
It has certainly been a while since I've been a part of dress rehearsals and tech week, so this week has been more or less like an elevator towards Heaven and Hell. One day I'm manic depressive, the next I'm bursting with confidence, and then there are 'meh' days.
To say the least, I went a little crazy this week.
But the show finally opened, which means my job as an Assistant is over for this term. Next couple of terms will be primarily focused on other costume practices so that I may expand my skills even further.
So what other plans are there left in the term? Well I need to find a new job (now that I have the time) and get caught up on my homework. That is about what is going on in my life as it stands. Hopefully, relaxation will come back to me.
Anyway, I hope all of you are doing well and prospering with good fortunes! Enjoy the rest of your weeks! Later~

11/5: Moments of Truth
I remembered this time to post on a Friday, ha ha!
Ah, well we're moving right into the true Autumnal months as the leaves fall into the gorgeous color palette. Definitely love this weather, but cannot wait for Winter to come. Fireplaces, snowing, CHRISTMAS...Ah, a magical time.
Anyway, things are certainly speeding up again. The show I'm working on opens up next week, which means for the next few days is definitely last-minute adjustments and fixing the kinks and knots of the production.
Am I excited? Of course I am.
Did I really do anything to support this show? ...not really.
Working with two assistants must be nice for the Designer, but for someone who has never helped run a show such as this, I had no idea what to do or expect, or even when it was appropriate to speak up. Even with what ideas I did had, the other assistant thought of them first before I got the chance to say something.
So, essentially, I was really a third wheel in this production. I suppose something that should have been expected, but it's something I also have to learn from.
Still, had been feeling useless as a theatre student for a majority of this production. Oh well.
Academics seem to be doing well, I'm well caught up for the time being and have time to sleep in every once in a while (WHAAAT? You may question me later about how pleasurable this was).
OH. And my housing situation, yes.
Managed to find another roommate just in time, but the deal is that I will be sharing the master bedroom with another friend of mine (Rebecca Denley, I'm sure many of you may know, but for those who don't: High school/colleague of mine) so that we can all save some money. It would be nice to pay less than what I'm paying now, but we'll see.
The important thing, though, is that I will not be homeless. Yay!
On the other hand, this does mean I need a job soon. Something different. Probably retailing since the holiday season is coming around the corner.
So that is how my life has been so far. I hope everyone is having a good week and hopefully a better week to come! I will let you know how opening night goes and there may even be some pictures involved, ooh la la! Later~
