Day One
The main building of BTFI love having an internet connection. If only I could find a more reliable area to try to call people from. I discovered today that Lee, a town about 7 minutes away, grants me a full signal. Now I just need to make excuses to run to that grocery store.
Jumped right in during the first day. I'm still hesitant about draping. Not that I doubt my abilities at actually draping so much as my ability to delegate work and supervise the underlings. I was surprised to see how young the shop is. Other than the shop supervisor (conveniently one of my house mates as well) I am the oldest of the bunch. The other draper (and recently accepted Yalie--congrats to her!) comes in close at 24. The remaining six cannot legally drink. Granted this only means a 4-5 year age gap, but after completing two degrees, working at several summer theatres, living on my own...4-5 years seems a huge difference. It is a great friendly group of people though.
The shop is freezing. We're in a converted barn, which honestly is much better off than everyone made it sound. However, I am longing for the comfort and ease at APT. Stock supplies are sketchy. There is a dampness and the mildew and odor that accompanies. I'm certain once the mountains escape this spring chill the summer will be quite hot. But it is beautiful. And I am continually reassured that this season will be quite low stress. First on the docket is six tutus for Love! Valour! Compassion!
I still cannot wrap my head around the comfort of the housing. I know people respond well to visuals so here is the photo tour:
The house from the outside...we are situated on the first floor
And the lovely landscaping that adorns the front. I hear the backyard is even more stunning.
The hall and living area...yes we have skylights...lots of them. And the massive kitchen is on the left.
Our Massive kitchen with a Viking gas range with 6 burners...
The living area from the other side.
My quaint room awaiting more unpacking...it looks much more like I live in it now...and no that does not mean it is a mess.

if you have a relaible internet connection we can talk online once I get internet in my apartment come July. It's free computer to computer once I figure out how to work yahoo messanger - which seems to be the popular thing in romanian.
Hey, the house where I live is technically in Lee, about a 5-8 min drive from downtown. Glad to hear you're moved in... I'll give you a call in the next few days :)
Wow... You have a great looking living quarters! You'll be in charge and running things before you know it. I miss you!
Looks like a fabulous house! The only thing is it lacks color. Call me up and I'll paint the living room. way too sterile.
