Greetings reader,
It's almost April, and I think we're all getting excited and maybe a little overwhelmed but mostly excited.
Balancing everything is becoming increasingly difficult. This weekend was another one of those weekends where I'm on set all day every day, not really sleeping, realizing at the end of each day that I have plenty of homework that's waiting for me. It's just getting to the point where I love what I'm doing, but I also have to remind myself to do the things that I HAVE to do like sleep, homework, papers, projects, etc... and sometimes I forget that. So, tl;dr, I'm kind of sick again and a little overwhelmed. Yesterday is what I'm calling my second crash day of the semester. I'm sure I'll have at least one more before finals week is over. But guess what, it's ALL GOOD because somehow, as purely exhausted and stressed as I am, I'm still in a pretty great mood. It's the weirdest thing and I don't know how to handle this really bizarre combination of sentiments but I'm not complaining. Also, have I mentioned recently that I love spring? Because I love spring.
Visions! I sent out an email to all potentially interested parties (people who put their name on one of my interest sheets, etc.) I've also had a handful of people directly approach me about volunteering, which I think is really awesome. I gave everyone a final deadline to submit the application - next Monday, the 6th - but encouraged everyone to submit asap because we have so much interest this year. I'm really hoping that a lot of these people submit applications. Between ACE and everyone on the interest sheets, we have way more than enough if everybody were to submit. So, once I get all the applications, I'll sift through and choose the best applicants and send out another google form for availability. That'll be due probably next weekend, so by the beginning of the week of Visions, I'll have a semi-finalized schedule that I'll only make minor tweaks to during the week. These next couple weeks are where the majority of my work really kicks in. It's a kind of tight timeline, but I think if we had too much wiggle room, it wouldn't feel as imminent or immediately relevant for the applicants. I personally think I'm operating on a pretty reasonable schedule with this, and I'm going to do everything I can to compile some awesome volunteers to help us run this festival!
TTFN,
~~~~~Ashley!!!
