VSC

I made it! I'm alive so no worries!

So anyway, I've been in Norfolk for just over a week now (it feels like much longer). I arrived last Thursday evening with all of my stuff in my car, and no where to live. But hoorah! by Tuesday morning, I was signing a lease to a 4 bedroom townhouse technically in Virginia Beach! It's a pretty nice place and I'll be living with 3 other girls from the company. I'm only about 7 miles from the theater so biking is still an option, however I don't have a bike yet and I haven't surveyed the best route I would use. It's ok though because 2 of my roommates and I will have pretty much the same schedule, so we fully intend on carpooling whenever possible.

Work also started this week. I got a tour of the space, which was nice, but I was so very confused that day. I still have to ask how to get to certain places, but B (my boss) was pretty clear on the orientation of things so it's not been too terrible. Nothing too exciting has been happening at work. We've been cleaning and bench focusing lighting instruments, and we hung the 1st electric, but that's about it. We aren't too concerned because we don't open our first show until September. Oh! I do have my own desk and my own company computer though! It makes me feel like a real professional, granted my computer is a dinosaur and should be put to rest, but that's beside the point.

So far, the people I've been working with have been really great. I was afraid it might be awkward coming into a place where I only knew 1 other person, but everyone has been really friendly and making me feel at ease, which has been a huge relief. There are still a few more people on the tech staff that have yet to arrive, and all of the actors. I did find out that a girl that worked at Seaside with Dawn and I will be joining the company as well though. She may not remember us because we didn't really get to know her and that's ok; it's just cool to see how much of a small world we live in. Another example of that is one of my roommates went to Ball State!

Anyway, I think that will be all for now...updates will be pretty random until we get the internet situated at the apartment...until then!
