Just, you know, my first week at the dream job

So I started at RHT yesterday and I just couldn't be more excited about it. My first day was only a couple hours long because of an exam, but I got to do some paperwork right away. Today we went to their shops, pulled props, taped out the space, set up the callboard, and organized a kit.

This sounds really lame. I know.

But it. was. awesome. And here's why: the people I was working with never treated me like I was the kid. I got to experience all the parts of the building. All the prep work got done in a timely manner. AND on top of that? I really like the people I'm working with. I KNOW there are about a million things left for me to learn about stage managing, but it's so nice to know that people that are really doing it respect my opinion and value my help.

It's also made me really, really value what I had/have at UMD because the only reason this awesome stuff is happening to me right now is that I have an awesome mentor.
