So I'm at work. Yup, sitting at my desk at the Lyric Opera of Chicago. In my office. And... I don't really have anything to do. Today is day 4 and I haven't quite gotten accostomed to finding things to do yet. I wish I'd remembered to bring the stuff to decorate my office with, but alas.. When you have to get up at 5:30 for a doctor's appointment, decorating your office is not the first thing on your mind. Making sure you're not late because you got up at 5:45 is more like it :-P
I have been meeting more people here at work. Most of them are older though and probably don't want to hang out with me. Boys... Well, for boys I say I need to work on my gay-dar. There is this one boy that I think is just TOO cute, but others believe he is gay. It wouldn't be the first time, haha. So now.. There are the obviously straight ones (like 3 of them) and then there are the new boys I seem to be running into and I can't tell. I wouldn't really want to make a fool out of myself, haha.
I like my supervisor. She is super laid back... At least so far. And she does a really good job of explaining to me what needs to be done. I think that I am a good intern. I do things in a timely fashion, and if doing them requires me to make decisions I make the most convenient and efficient ones that I can think of or see. I think it is going to be a wonderful 3 months here at the Lyric Opera, but of course hopefully more.
I kinda wish I had classes or something -- Somethere where I could meet people my own age. And Adam and I are going to try to go out every weekend, but with that.. People think we're together. And I went out by myself the other night to apply for a weekend job [shhhh! don't tell anyone] and I was definitely cat called as I was walking up the stairs at this little mall near my apt. Meanwhile, Adam was tanning around the corner (we had walked to that destination together and then we went our separate ways) and he was hit on as well-- by two guys. So, times like that make me wish that I was in fact out with Adam. It's always fun to go out with him. He's just always in SUCH a good mood! But yeah. I doubt that I will really be picking up boys when out on the weekends. By the lucky night I am surrounded by straight men in the Chicago Lakeview area, haha :)
AS you can tell, I am in a much better mood now that I have things to do and such. Well. At least I have a schedule. And I love argo tea-- it will surely be the death of my bank account. Tomorrow is Friday! That means I will get my $30 check for the week. Now. Where to cash it...? $30 is $30 man. My weekdays consist of waking up at 7 every morning, showering, dressing, breakfasting, meeting Adam at 8 to try and get the bus (the 135 Express to be Exact)... And *hopefully* being at Lyric by 9. And then I get off at 5, get home around 6-6:30.. Sit around til I decide what I want for dinner, make dinner, eat it, and then read til I fall asleep -- which is generally around 11. So I feel like i have become an old fart, but this internship is actually very important to me... And I'm off to ask around for some mindless task since the meeting is out now.
Until next time... Leave me lots of love on facebook and/or myspace... or call me... you can call me at work if you'd like... my number is 312.827.3587. yup!
