My first full week in Ithaca has come and gone, and so far I am in love! Ithaca is adorable and a very nice area. The theatre is small and intimate and the quality if work is fantastic. I live with two other interns and they are awesome. Liz is the stage management intern and Emily is the artistic intern, we are all similar focused on keeping things clean and tidy which is always nice. We live in adorable little apartment over a restaurant in the middle of downtown, it's about a 10 minute walk to the theatre. There is even an adorable brick wall in my room and I am getting all settled in. I haven't found a church yet but then again, I haven't had a chance to look.
I m getting more comfortable with my job and learning what exactly my duties are and some of the challenges I will be encountering. I am going to have a lot on my plate but everything will be great for my future and my career.
Honestly, I am missing my car and the autonomy my own vehicle provides. I occasionally feel a bit trapped, but on he other hand there isn't anywhere I have really needed to go so it's kind of silly, just something I'm accustomed to that I no longer have.
Overall, I think I'm going to like it here!

Big Announcement!
I have been so stinking busy recently I can't even begin to tell you all of it right now, nor does it really matter. What matters right now is my big announcement: I am moving! I have been offered a 10-ish month internship with Kitchen Theatre Company in Ithaca, NY. So I will be heading to Ithaca in about 2 weeks. GAHHHH!!! PANIC!!!!
Not really:) As of right now I am just really excited. I will be working as the Production Intern which means I will be doing carpentry + electrics + my true love props = a whole lot of work for not a lot of money. BUT, that is okay because the money doesn't really matter as long as I can eat and they provide housing so that is already taken care of.
This contract lasts til July 6, 2013, I get one day a week off, Thanksgiving day and December 24-29, so I will not be coming home at any point. That is the one part that makes me sad, but that is also what Skype is for (THIS MEANS YOU, FRIENDS AND FAMILY!)
I will be home for a very brief time before I leave and hopefully I will get to see some people and I will definitely find time to see my family, cause I'm homesick as it is! But there is a lot to do. I have to sell my car (anyone looking for a great little '05 Hyundai Elantra with only like 61,500 mi? I'm hoping for $6,600) I have to pack and I have no idea what to bring because I've never ever lived anywhere with real weather! GUYS- I'm going to get seasons!
Yeah so I'm really excited, but I really need everybody's prayers, this is a huge move and pretty scary. It's going to be a real test of faith and it's going to be an amazing growing experience!
