I have to say, things are going really well. Classes are great, professors are awesome, TEAM AWESOME (the MFA stage managers) is REALLY AWESOME. Working 20 hours a week in the props shop.... i'm trying to stay optimistic. No, I have not been to the strip since school started.
So week one is over, kind of. We have callbacks tomorrow for the New Play Festival. I'm stage managing one of them. After callbacks are over, I will feel confident in saying that I survived my first week of grad school.
