DAY ELEVEN
Margaret has returned! Early in the day, before she arrived, I took to the dusty lights and have been sneezing since. It took me a little while to figure out exactly how to take the light apart, and when I went looking for our microfiber rags used to clean the lenses they were missing. I had to reassemble the fixture, but now that I have seen how they work I'll be able to spend a few hours one day to bang through four or five ellipsoidals. When Margaret arrived, we took some time to reestablish where we stand. Margaret began building platforms. I helped for the first bit but had to run to speak with Joan, and then to notes. The rest of my day was spent on lights for OOTI, which is definitely sneaking up on us. I planned to read through the script again tonight for memorization, but as I type these final words my eyes grow heavy, and I don't think I'll make it past page two.

Day Three Today was not as productive as yesterday. Margaret and I got a late start, admittedly my fault, so we didn't have as much time to work. With Once on This Island coming up fast, I spent most of my time in the morning working to complete the lighting design. When we met up, Margaret had already been working for half an hour or so. She, being the one with more carpentry/set building experience is taking the lead on that end of things, so she had begun planning exactly what we need where. To me, everything she said sounded like arbitrary numbers in a different language, but hopefully I will learn. I'll be leading the lighting/sound charge, so we made a plan to make Saturday a tech day and jump into it. We could not meet after lunch because we had an interview with Ethney about our proctor experience (and our senior project overview/progress)! We met again during senior study hall with Joan to get an idea of what costumes we have available to us and see what we need to ge...

DAY SIX Today Margaret and I spent the morning at a rummage sale in New London. I didn't quite know what to expect from it, but we ended out walking away with some cool pieces of clothes for our characters and ourselves. Everything was under $2.00 (Crazy!), so if we were on the fence about a pair of pants or shirt we just brought it back and paid the extra $0.50. The rest of the day was spent mostly on the main stage musical (the lighting of which is now near complete). Rehearsal started at 12:30 and we wanted to eat lunch, so once we got back from the rummage sale we called it a day. TODAY'S HOURS: 2.5 TOTAL HOURS: 17

DAY NINE Today was not super productive. With Margaret (totally understandably) gone again today, I kept chugging away and filled in the lighting plot. Hopefully everything will work as I set it on the plot, but there's definitely room for error/experimentation. Other than that, I cleaned the black box for the boys and girls club, mainly moving props and lights back into storage and the green room. I talked with Joan for a bit again tonight, and got to see Margaret at rehearsal tonight. Though she was just reading lines and not spending much time up and about, it was good to touch base in person and check in on the project. Hopefully, if she can keep food down, she'll be in tomorrow and we can do a run through. If she's feeling sick but comes in anyway, maybe we'll watch the movie for research. TODAY'S HOURS: 1 TOTAL: 23.5
