I did not have a weekend.
I spent Friday evening at the theatre doing tech work for the play Our Town (which by the way, is worth going to see). I slept until Saturday afternoon and then ate lunch before going back to the theatre until 11ish. I went to sleep and then woke up Sunday afternoon and ran back to the theatre until 5ish. I went to church at six, ate dinner, and began writing a history paper that is pwning my ass. I will only be pausing to do theatre homework (*strangling noise*) and briefly to write this blog.
Luckily, the due date for history has been postponed one class day. Unfortunately, this gives me less time to write my English paper. Yay…

So, I’m sitting in the Tatum Theatre Sound room right now, watching the deck crew sweep the stage. Technical rehearsals usually go by very slowly because it’s the first time all the crew of a play come together with their “finished” work. Though the costumers and actors may interact through normal rehearsal period and the lights crew and stage crew may also interact, etc., this will be the first full run-through rehearsal where the actors, sound crew, light crew, stage crew, deck crew, stage manager, director, and designers all come together. I’ll be here for a least good ten hours today. Tomorrow, it’ll be the same. Our Town is going up this weekend and so far it looks great. I’m operating the sound board for the first time. Ten minutes till we begin.

Lazy weekends are the best. Today I lounged in bed with the windows open until I decided to eat breakfast around noon. I then spent the evening in sprawled out in warm clover. Friday and Saturday went at a similarly relaxed pace. It was a wonderful way to end a outright terrible week. Last Sunday, I was stressed more than usual and it ended up making me very sick. The week got increasingly aggravating as it progressed. I definitely needed a completely hassle free weekend. I completely disregarded anything I had to do and spent the lazy weekend with a few of my friends. It was lovely. Now, I’m slowly finishing all my homework and I’ll get to bed reasonably early. Hopefully this week will be comparatively better than the last.
