Back Already

I really do not want to be back in this building already. Mostly because I do not feel as prepared as I should be for the next two weeks. But from what others have told me, I'm in a much better spot than most have been.

Today was our first full day back in the shop. The next two weeks will be full 9:30-5:30 days, with the shop getting a lunch break and me eating when I have a moment. I had hoped to start South Beach while break was still upon us, but as the thesis tends to be all consuming, I should probably just make sure I'm eating...as long as it has calories and some nutritional value. If I can keep out the processed sugar for the next two weeks great, but I think I'll need a few too many pick-me ups to get through opening night in February.

First day and I feel wiped already. Just wait until classes get thrown into the mix.

On an up note, one of my renderings will be turned into the postcard promoting the show. Meaning all of you will probably find one in your mailbox in the coming weeks.

I hear it's warm in Phoenix

I will be heading to Phoenix Arizona in March to represent Rutgers at USITT. Now the question is whether or not to submit anything for the Young Designers Forum, or the Cover the Walls exhibit. The faculty is also still debating about who to send to the SETC. Originally they wanted myself and a third year lighting designer to go, he submitting House of Bernarda Alba, and myself submitting Country Wife into the competition. Nothing boosts my faith more than the faculty registering me for these events without my knowledge. As an added bonus--I am now an USITT member. I wonder if the Sherwins will be in attendance.
