Back to the Real World

My work week started on Tuesday as my first day at my internship. When I was visiting in April I stopped by and meet Rebekah, who I am working under, and learn a little bit about the place. I think that really helped with making me more comfortable because I knew how to get to work and I had meet some of the people there. Like all first days, this one was a little weird. It is hard just to get thrown into work and projects you don't know a lot about. It's a little frustrating because no one really explains anything. One of my tasks on my first day was to delivery letters to restaurants and vendors that participate in the Good Neighbor Program. It gives season ticket holders and flex pass holders discounts at places near the theater to get food, etc before or after seeing a show. It was a challenge finding my way around at first and I'll admit I walked in a few circles before getting the lay of the land, but it was fun getting to see all the stores and restaurants. I have found so many places I want to go back to.

And what better way to celebrate the first day on a job but to see a show! Tonight I had a ticket to A Little Night Music. It is part of the shows showing this year in celebration of Stephen Sondheim's 80th. I had no clue what the show was about (this is not like me; normally I have the soundtrack memorized, summary read...) but it had Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angela Lansbury, so I was excited to see it. To be honest I really didn't like it. It wasn't very exciting, the music was kind of operatic and the story was lacking. I don't know what to compare it to. The only bright side was that Catherine Zeta-Jones signed at the stage door.
