Bittersweet

Today I was offered the summer internship that I wanted at Glimmerglass Opera in Cooperstown. I'm pretty excited. It's not stage management, but Glimmerglass is an awesome theatre to have on my resume. I'll be the production administration intern, basically meaning that I will be running all over the place purchasing things, budgeting, making sure that everything is taken care of and running smoothly; which is what I do as treasurer for Mask & Hammer. They provide free housing and will be giving me a very decent weekly stipend. I can also get up to 12 internship credits through the college for this. The only thing that stinks about that though is it costs $180 per credit. So I'll be applying for more financial aid for the summer session. I'm not really worried about that part of it though. My directing professor is being extremely helpful with the process, as is the rest of the faculty. Glimmerglass wants me to start immediately after the musical closes at the end of April. They want me to come in and work part-time so I know what I'm doing by the time I get there in May. They're willing to work around my class schedule and the fact that I don't have a car, so I guess they hardcore want me for this position, which is wicked cool. So the day started on a good note.
Classes were classes, nothing extraordinary. Then a few of us went to one of the dining halls where they were having a Mardi Gras party thing with a band and everything. That was fun too. Then came homework and prep work for a production meeting tomorrow and hanging out with Melissa and Tiff.
Then things went downhill for a bit. Andrew and I broke up. I'm not really that upset by it at all. Yeah he was nice to have around but I am definitely way too busy to have any kind of relationship. I had no time to see him and it just wasn't fair to either of us, so I think we're both better off.
Then I went and helped Diana fix lights for Vagina Monologues, which opens next week. She's using some of the plot from the operas and I feel bad for her because the other designer was absolutely AWFUL. I mean TERRIBLE. The lighting was so uneven and just inadequate. She's not getting paid for the crap she called a lighting design. Rich did most of the work for her. Anyway, that's over though and now Diana, a very competent designer, is going to fix it. Fun stuff. That's all I've got for now. Good night.
