Things I've Learned 2009-2010
I know that it has been a long time since I've posted, I just got very busy with classes and shows and just life in general.
So here is my end of the school year list of things that I've learned. This is a list about life, theatre, and random knowledge.
1. I should try to talk more during job interviews.
2. Saltwater gargles are not to be underestimated.
3. Saltwater gargles work because of osmosis. The salt takes the water of whatever is irritating your throat or if it is swollen it takes excess water out of your throat making you feel better.
4. If your plot is going to be "late" tell EVERYONE. (This may or may not be sarcasm.)
5. Ghost loading: Where lights that you have plugged into resistance dimmers don't put out enough wattage and you secretly put more lights in the same dimmer and hide them so that the lights that are low wattage don't flicker when you dim them.
6. There is a time and place for everything: it is usually not on the El.
7. Vectorworks can be a good friend and a formidable enemy.
8. People change and drift away.
9. Behavior modification.
10. Former lovers move on, and though you can be happy where you are, you can still wonder about what might have been. Even though it is probably not healthy.
11. Words CAN hurt just as much as physical attacks.
12. It is important to find happiness in even the most miserable of situations. That's where the little things come in.
13. I can design costumes, even though it isn't my cup of tea.
14. Life without TV is much more productive.
15. Sometimes you need to cry alone, and having other people around is annoying.
16. Having had my own place for almost a year now, I feel it will be impossible for me to cohabit with another person ever again.
17. The Harold Washington Library is HUGE.
18. Otters are by far the cutest marine mammal on the planet.
This list is subject to grow as I think of things.
Also, new goal/direction for this blog. I will try to post a new random fact that I learned once a day.
