So here I am in Tampa! When I arrived on Sunday, it was 81 and sunny, the sky was blue, and the water was perfectly clear. I felt like I was on vacation rather than getting ready to work for five weeks on a new show haha.
Rehearsals have been going well. We basically sit in a room and practice whatever music we have to practice. We only have about six or seven songs right now, and we're getting really good and those haha but there is a lot more to come. We work from 9:30 to 6 every day except Sunday, and then for the most part I've been relaxing in my room and getting groceries and whatnot to restock from the two weeks I was gone. I've also been able to cook more which has been great, since I have time to do so.
Last night we went down to Ybor City which is in the main part of Tampa. It's an awesome little downtown area that has lots of restaurants and clubs and seems like it will be a lot of fun to go to on our days off, and it's only 10 minutes away!
I realized the other day also that this will be the longest I've ever been at one job. Up until now the longest job I've ever had was my summer at Mac-Haydn which lasted four months. I guess I never really thought about a job being so long-term, but I guess I don't really think about this job that way since I know this isn't where I'm going to stay. I have a lot of other experiences to look forward to :)
Thanksgiving dinner! Yum!
