Summer Times

Well, my diploma came in the mail last week, so I guess that makes it official: I am a college graduate. Of course that is exciting and terrifying at the same time. I am in some cosmic limbo between the end of my childhood and the beginning of being an adult in which I have no responsibilities to school or homework, and I find myself working a part time job and interning at a small theatre and wondering what comes next. Its one of those crossroads in life, and once you pick a road to walk down, there is really no changing your mind.

So, like I said, right now I just got a job working at Teavana, and I start training on Thursday for that. I am excited about it because I love Teavana, but at the same time, it is going to be little more than a little bit of pocket money, and after the play festival, I am still going to need to find something more substantial.

Speaking of the play festival, I am currently serving as a management intern at the HotCity Theatre Company in downtown St. Louis. We are working on a New Play Festival for which we are flying in three playwrights whose plays were selected to premiere at the festival, and we have each been assigned to a play to serve as stage manager/assistant director. The festival is free to the public, and we will be having a world premiere of a new play every night. So, anyone who is reading this should come and bring friends and family and enjoy a night of free theatre!



Anyway, that's enough plugging. So, the next step is to determine whether I should get a degree in sign language interpreting or move to the city and jump into theatre. I really love sign language, and it has been a lot of fun to learn it over the last several months, and it would be another really useful and potentially profitable skill to have. I dont know. Lots to think about.

But. That is all for now!
