Taking Some Time for Myself

     I know I blogged about Holiday starting last week, but we are still in the midst of rehearsals and I am exhausted. I feel like I have no time for anything. I am really looking forward to this weekend so I can rest, relax, clean up my room, and take some time for myself. 

    I really don't have much extra time right now, and if I do, it is mostly used for homework. So, this weekend I already have a plan about what I am going to do to clean and relax. I need to do some laundry, wash my sheets and clean up my room. When I get busy, everything around me seems to get really messy. So, I'm going to pick up my room, vacuum  and maybe reorganize a bit to make it easier to keep things organized. 

    I also plan on sleeping in when I can, and curling up with a good book. Maybe I'll put some essential oil in my diffuser too. Also taking a good, long shower sounds really nice as well. I could do a little hair mask and make it feel like a little spa day. I also want to hang out with my friends and just chill. 

I mean we do have rehearsal Friday night from 6-10pm and then Saturday from 1-5pm, so obviously I will not have the whole weekend to relax. But I do have more time than I would during the week. My friend and I will also probably go to the store. I used to drink the Amber Red Bull all the time and I stopped because I really shouldn't be drinking them. But I think it might be time to break out the Amber Red Bulls again. Drinking energy drinks that are more natural just don't seem to be cutting it for me anymore. So, those are at the top of my shopping list right now. 

    I am really looking forward to my Saturday evening so I can just chill and enjoy having time to myself. For the first time in a while. And believe me I will be taking full advantage of it.

    It sounds like you’ve got a well-deserved weekend of rest and recharge planned! Balancing rehearsals and everything else is exhausting, but setting aside time to organize, unwind, and treat yourself is such a smart move.

    I feel the exact same. I was just thinking that it's been so long since I had time to read my book. Its so hard finding time for yourself when also balancing school and rehearsal. I also feel incredibly exhausted and would kill for just 24 hours of sleep lol. I hope you find some time for your comfy night!

Thanksgiving Break!

Image
 Thanksgiving break was much needed for all of us, but I can't help feeling like it wasn't much of a break. I feel like I packed so much into one week, where I managed to exhaust myself and not come back as refreshed as I had hoped. Almost every single night of break I hung out with a group of my friends, or my family. Also, due to The Holiday Spectacular, I didn't get home until Sunday night. On Monday night, I saw Wicked with my friends Laini and my mom. It was incredible. I wasn't expecting to cry and I totally did. If you haven't seen it, go watch it. It will change your life. On Tuesday night I hung out with another of my friends, Swati, went shopping with her and then went to her house for dinner. My days were also filled with appointments like the doctor, the chiropractor and my hair stylist of course. I got my hair toned darker and got my bangs redone as well. On Wednesday I met one of my best friends, Amelie, for lunch. She wasn't home for very long so ...

The Social Dilemma

Image
      So, to be completely honest I did get my movies mixed around. I got The Social Network and The Social Dilemma mixed up. I really like the movie The Social Network so when I realized that wasn't what we were watching, I was a little disappointed. If you haven't seen it it is about Mark Zuckerberg and how facebook was created. But it isn't a documentary, it is just a movie telling the story of the creation of Facebook. But The Social Dilemma has definitely been an interesting watch.      The Social Dilemma talks about the dangers of social media and how companies basically manipulate us into being addicted to our phones and apps. There are interviews of employees who used to work at some of these companies and can attest to the way that things are run. They send notifications to keep you on your phone and use psychology to keep you addicted.  There were a mix of interviews and staged scenarios to get their point across in this documentary....

Holiday Tech Week!

Image
  On Sunday, we went into tech for the ONU Holiday Spectacular! For those who don't know what a tech week is, it is the week before a show opens where all technical elements are added, like lights, sound, set, costumes, hair and makeup, props, etc. All the actors have been running the show for a while now, so this week is a time for the tech crew to practice what they do and for the actors to get used to all the new elements as well. On Sunday, rehearsal was about 11 hours. I got there at 11:30 for the crew meeting and we started to set up. I left that night around 10 or 11pm. We had an hour break for dinner and we periodically took ten minute breaks throughout the rehearsal as well so the actors and crew had time to sit down, drink some water and, you know, take a break.       It was a very long day and I was exhausted by the end of the night. As an assistant stage manager, I am in charge of stage left, or SL. I had to learn about where all the set pieces we mo...
