So I have been hecka busy the past few weeks. I am presently working three different jobs. Yay! Actually it's kind of sad because there are stretches of time when I actually go days without seeing my family. Seriously, I was up and gone before they were awake (or I just left before getting the chance to actually see their bright faces) and I was home after they were in bed.
Anyways, my new job that I am working right now is at a theater. A live theater, not a movie theater, which I would imagine is more fun but seeing as how I have never actually worked in a movie theater I guess that would be an unfair assessment. :P I am working as a dresser, which means I get to help actors get into their costumes before and during the show.
The show I am working on is Elf: the Musical (awesome show, just an FYI) and I mostly help the kids in the show get into their elf costumes. (Fun Fact: our theater is the first to use children as the elves. Broadway apparently used adults on their knees. Can't imagine how that must have been for the actors, or the costumers that had to repair holes in the knees...). The kids are all AMAZING! They are fun, upbeat, and totally professional. I love working with them. It's always a blast at the theater. :D
This is my last week of working three jobs though. Tomorrow my afternoon job will be over until January 6th and Friday my morning job will be done until January 2nd. The only job I'll have is my theater job, which runs until December 28th. I am so excited about sleeping in next week! Aww, Yeaaaaah!!!!
Other than that there isn't really too much for me to tell. Ooh! I did get the chance to see Disney's Frozen. I must say, it was an incredible movie! I absolutely loved it! The music has been stuck in my head for the past few days. particularly "Do You Wanna Build a Snowman?" and "Let it Go". Love, love, love, love, LOVE it!!
Also, I recently finished reading Drops of Gold by Sarah M. Eden. She is one of my favorite authors and the book did not in any way disappoint. I bought the e-book from Deseret Book so I was reading it on my phone during my down time at the theater. If I had more free time I probably would have finished it in a day or two, it was that good. But, considering how much time I did have, I didn't do too bad. Got it done in about three days. :)
Story time about the book! So last night I decided to throw my blacks into the washer because they desperately needed to be washed (Blacks: required dress for anyone working backstage at a theatrical production, consisting of a black shirt, black pants, black shoes, and black socks) so I had to stay up long enough to switch the laundry over to the dryer. To pass the time I read my book. Just before 1 am I reached chapter 25 of 27 and there were sooooo many things that still had to be resolved! Okay, so maybe there weren't a lot of things that needed to be resolved, but there were two HUGE things that needed to be resolved. I checked on my laundry. About a minute thirty to go.
I can't go back to my book, I told myself. If I go back I won't stop, then I'll be up later than I already am which will make it super difficult to get up at 5:30 for my 6:45 job.
Those last 90 seconds were agonizing... I spent the entire time stressing over the book. I mean, I knew it was going to end happy, or at least that's how her other books had ended, but with three chapters left and the major things still unresolved...I was dying to know how it was going to get worked out.
The clothes finished washing and I put them into the dryer. Then I went back to my room and finished the book.
What can I say? I'll take a good book over sleep any day. Lol.
Anyways, I hope you are all well and enjoying yourselves. Happy Holidays!!!
