The Winskyes in Paradise: February 2012

A Day in my Life

As usual, it's rare that I see daylight other than arriving at the theatre, or the occasional lunch break. Usually someone INSISTS on leaving the building to eat (which is smart). As a grad student in theatre, here is a rundown of my typical day a couple of weeks ago:

6:45am- wake up (painful), shower, coffee (if I have time)

7:15am- leave for work. It take FOREVER to get anywhere in Honolulu morning rush hour. I was teaching only 12 minutes from our house, but it takes 40 minutes or so to get there.

8am-11:30am- teach! This is the part I love.

12pm- arrive home, gear up, head to school

12:30pm- arrive on campus (closer to 1pm if I made coffee and then walked)

2pm- lunch? more coffee

Somewhere in here I fit preparing to teach my stage management workshop for the university and actually doing the research for the project I am working on this semester. Also: emails.

5pm- dinner, more coffee

6pm- post sign-in sheets for first show

7pm- more coffee!!!!

8pm- stage manage show #1. I love this part, too!

10pm- close show #1

10:15pm- run across hall to smaller theatre

11pm- stage manage show #2.

12am- close show #2

12:30am- finally finish cleaning up from show #2

2am- sleeeep

We've moved!

Well, we are now in our third dwelling since we moved to Hawaii in August. Hopefully this one will stick for a while. Admittedly the traffic is a bit loud at, oh, say, EVERY time of day, but we are close to school and we have some pretty awesome neighbors (we've been lucky enough to have fun neighbors at all three places we've lived, actually).
