The life of an SM
Well here I am again, for another update. Tonight is my first free night since being a stage manager. What that means is that there is no class or rehearsal tomorrow. Saturdays I am free and I am happy for that. Therefore, I'm celebrating by watching "Firefly" which is very good.
Stage managing has been good so far. Nothing to hard as of yet, just time consuming. Lots of forms to be filled out and lots of things to keep track of. I also am always on alert trying to make sure that I don't make any mistakes, which is a difficult thing to do. It is stressing me out though, this I do know. I have been sleeping pretty restlessly for the past week. Tonight I'm going to try a couple relaxation hypnosis recordings and see if they do anything for me, since I have nothing to get up for tomorrow.
My classes are going well; however, I need to start putting more time into them. I've been putting all my focus on stage managing, just because I was afraid I would have to be doing a lot more than I actually have to do as of right now. Well, I am doing a lot, but I think I can manage it all, I just have to be able to keep my sanity. I'm meeting with a former stage manager once a week just to vent. Also she's there to help me keep my sanity. Chuck, the technical director really wants her to be looking over me, but she understands that I should be able to handle this.
I've been getting pretty lonely as of lately as well. It seems like when I get stressed, all I do is push my friends away, I always want alone time, yet I get real lonely as well. I miss talking to people. I've had very little free time to talk to anyone, which sucks. I just miss people, I miss everyone. But life will go on I guess. At least I've got tomorrow off, hopefully I'll get the rest I need to be rejuvenated.
Well, I shall end this entry now to continue my "Firefly" marathon. Good night all.
