AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am on information overload!!!!!!!!! I’VE ONLY BEEN HERE TWO DAYS AND IT FEELS LIKE TWO WEEKS. All I’ve been doing is sitting, writing and also running around like a chicken with my head cut off. Boo. We have rehearsal from 9:00am to 9:30pm everyday with about 45 minutes for lunch and about an hour for dinner. It’s just exhausting. Then we are supposed to find some sort of time to look over all of the information that we’ve learned in a day and all I want to do is go to bed on my rock hard mattress. (I shouldn't really complain, since they are housing and feeding us for free) :) I understand their method of madness, but it is tiring. We have to learn our part, learn all of the blocking, choreography, music, costume changes, set changes, lighting changes for the show and ALSO learn how to teach it all to the children in one week. It is a lot of information to take in so of course training will be grueling, but boo. I’m tired and it’s only then end of day two. It was pretty amazing today. We had a teaching theory class for two hours taught by the founder of Missoula Children’s Theatre. He is the MOST passionate man that I’ve ever met in my life. He was teaching us how to teach and the way he spoke, you could just tell that this is exactly what he wanted to be doing with his life and he was so thrilled that he could change the life of ONE kid. It’s amazing. I can’t even describe the amount of love that this man has for what he does. Wow.
