Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas...Or Else!

So tonight I finished doing the lights for the dance concerts, and it's another transitional period. From one huge project to another, our Chambers gigs start saturday. I'm excited for this year because I get to be a driver in the carpool. My friend Amanda was in the group last year and we're already planning what songs we'll listen to, where we'll eat when we get to go to dinner before gigs, who'll ride with us, etc. It'll be a fun, but stressful season. Which brings on my new slogan, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas...Or Else!" Because no matter how stressed out, grouchy, and unhappy we are we have a job as performers to put on the best show. So slap on a happy face, and sing your little heart out!
Oh! Another fun thing that happened today: I turned in my Performance Report about Triangle Factory to Akers. I gave it to him in the morning, and he had it back to me before fifth hour was over. He made reference to some of the things I said in my report, and I was happy he had read it and taken it to heart. I had mentioned that some people think he's a jerk, a nut, or inconsiderate at times but they never realize everything he does for us. So he wrote as a response "I've seen you grow up so much right before my eyes. Thank you for these kind words. I really appreciate the sincerity. And you know what? I might be a jerk, a nut, and so introverted i can be inconsiderate, but we create something here- Art. And it's people like us who work to keep it the quality it is. Long live Theaterland!"
I had reffered to the drama department as Theaterland, so this made me giggle.
Just some kind words that made me smile. =]
Now, on to the next adventure for Theaterland.
