time for yourself
There is a reaccuring problem here at school. The same people are the dedicated ones. These people are dedicated to their work, not their school work. It's not really there fault. They enjoy what they do and as a result take on side project (hey, I know I've been there and still do a little too often) but when you are an undergrad at a school such as this...you don't get a lot of chances. Actually AI guess you get tom nay chances, you want to to do so much especially if you get the chance to do something out of your field.
For instance you come into this school as a freshman. WOHOOO FRESHMAN! Yeah, it's about that exciting, you are taken in and most of the upperclassmen help you out and show you the ropes and buy you beer. The important things in life. Through the course of the year you do some late nights because when they could have been early you to usy enjoying the rumors of college life is. In time passing you even get to do run crew for a few shows. Then at the end of your first year some of your friends get cut or decide this wasn't the right program for them afterall. Either way you drink, you cry, you leave, you come back, you remember.
Your sophomore year you are stuck on a build crew. If your lucky it is in an area that you have interest in. If you are lucky. You do some more work and you decide what you want to with your remaining 2 years. Some more people leave, some drinks are shared, you come back again... aren't you lucky.
Junior year is horrible. You have way to much homework to and no time to do it because you also have real jobs on the shows. These real jobs are usually doing what you are learning in class. I feel like your junior year classes should have already happened so that you know what the fuck your supposed to be doing on stage. Unforunately you no longer have time to drink but you make some by turning in assignments late. Some people never turn in some assignments and at the end of the year we once again say good bye.
Through the course of your junior and senior years you get assigned shows. You get assigned things from your area. But what if you have interest in more than one area...well that is when you take on outside jobs. a good thing, get your name out there prove you are responsible, don't really care about school cause you have senioritis anyway. But it isn't like you are not working. You are kicking ass on shows, but just not in the grade deptartment. Then there are some people who don't do shit for outside work, barely have any show work (probably cause the faculty don't trust them) and yet you are the one who will get in trouble at semester reviews.
Not really sure how many people get in trouble enough to say good by their senior year...guess I'll find out.
Over all, I think the wrong people get ridiculed adn therefore spend way to much time worring throught the course of the semester.
