the last show I worked since I did wardrobe rather then properties or being an electrician. I cleaned, painted, polished, and glued shoes. This was so gross! Anyone who knows me knows that I hate feet. So for me this was hard but it was my job so I had to do it. I think I washed my hands five times after I was done though. Then I sowed some leg and arm warmers. That was also a very interesting job since it looked like they were only patchwork. There was really no way I could mess them up. Thank goodness since I am bad at sowing. After our lunch break we got a list that we were to ware around our necks. This list was our life until the play was over. It told us specifically where we were to be and what we were to be doing at exactly the time we were to be doing it. I was so nervous at first that I was going to mess up. Trust me you would have been too. My list was four pages long and it was small print. Plus, you have to read it in the dark with a flashlight during the play while trying to stay out of everyone Else's way. However, once I figured it out it really was not that bad. I got everything done when I was supposed to and that included touching someones sweaty armpit pads. GROSS! Trust me, I washed my hands a lot after that. Yuck. The funny thing is that I still have no idea what that play is about. But does anyone really? The best part I think for me though is how nice all the actors and actresses were, I have never met a nicer cast. Sweaty armpit guy even shook my hand and thanked me for working with him. I was so surprised I think I said, "It's my job but your very welcome!" Then, after the show was over, we stayed and worked the load out. We finished loading everything onto the last truck around 1:10am. It was late, but it was worth it. Things that have not been going so well are weather and track. It snowed last week. Spring started last Sunday. It should not be snowing in the spring. Are first track meet was very cold. A lot of my teammates threw very well in the weather; however, I did not do so well. I really do not throw well at all when it is that cold. I would say we have a few more meets for me to get better but it is supposed to be cold and wet this weekend as well, so who knows what will happen. I am hoping for the best though.

Spring 2011
This semester seems to be flying by. I hardly remember what classes I had last semester and it is almost summer. The last time I wrote, my life was going very well. I could say that it has been just as great since then but that would not be entirely true. The good news is that Spring is here and the warm weather is on its way. Also, outdoor track has started and classes are going fairly well. I seem to have more time then I know what to do with since I am currently not working on a theater production other then at work. I know that there is school work that I could be getting done but really who ever gets homework done early? Especially this close to summer. Anyway, I am choosing to not be an over achiever. Another thing that has been going well in my life is job hunting. I have just sent out an application for a summer job in New Jersey. It is working at a weight loss camp for young girls. It would be a great opportunity to help young women learn how to live healthier more active lives. Also they have a theater that I would have a chance to work in as well as many other fun activities. I really hope to get a chance to work there; however, that means that I will only get to be at home until late June. The rest of the summer I would spend in New Jersey until I leave for London in August. I really think that it would be worth it though. Being healthy is something I am very passionate about so I think this would be the perfect summer job for me this year. Another crazy but amazing thing that happened to me since my last blog was that I got to work on the Off Broadway Production of CATS. It was so different then the last show I worked since I did wardrobe rather then properties or being an electrician. I cleaned, painted, polished, and glued shoes. This was so gross! Anyone who knows me knows that I hate feet. So for me this was hard but it was my job so I had to do it. I think I washed my hands five times after I was done though.
