And I just realized that it's not a train! This week is Tech Week (aka HELL Week) for You Can't Take it With You, the opening show of our season this year. I was asked to be assistant costume designer, and after a brief period of self-doubt, jumped at the chance.
Here's a brief rundown of the week so far.
Monday: Shit I'm running out of time for my dress for the fashion show! Get distracted for a while, work on the dress, panic when I realize that today is the first day of class for the After School Strings Program and I actually have to teach. Crazy! Finish teaching and fly across town for first dress rehearsal. Get there late, but still earlier than expected. Teach the guys how to tie a real bowtie. Watch rehearsal, solve problems, fix the damn toga.
Tuesday: Makeup class, old age project. The first time doing old age was a complete accident and turned out beautifully, but when I do it on purpose in class, not so much. More panic about the dress. French club meeting that I had to leave early to get to rehearsal. Sad. Instead of watching the show again, Tara let's me work on my dress which is due tomorrow. Work a little, text. Work some more, text a lot more. Don't get finished. Bad way to end the day. Fix the toga, AGAIN.
Wednesday: Sleep through class, so I'm not there to turn in my unfinished dress. Work in the shop, carve a stamp to fix the damn toga for the final time. Turns out great. Thanks to Gwendolyn for actually stamping the design on the toga. Teach again, much more successful this go around. Run to rehearsal, and ask if I could possibly work on my dress again. Get a lecture about how to be more productive and efficient with my time. It boils down to avoiding hand sewing, and not texting cute boys while I work. Finish the dress! Go out for Ben's birthday. LASERBLASTER!!
Thursday: Sleep in, go to fashion show on the quad. Dress looks great, awesome model Sammee, still texting boy, dress rehearsal for symphony tonight.
Friday: Breakfast with the costume shop crew, concert in the evening. And then...FREEDOM!!!
Now to plan social interactions to happen on my free time...
