Blog 9 - Advisory Prep 3

1. State whether or not you currently have a mentor, and what the status of your interview is with that person (I have completed the interview, I have scheduled the interview, I have not scheduled the interview, etc).
I dont have a mentor currently, but I also dont need one because I have all of my hours done. I am doing the interview with my previous mentor next week.
 
2. At this point, your research is probably guiding your studies toward more specific areas within your topic.  Name the area or two you find most promising and explain your reasons.  
A few areas i am looking into are the tools a sm needs and generally how to be a good stage manager.
 
3. What kinds of sources do you think will help you in the next month to gain more research depth?  Where will you go to get them?
 I think more interviews would prove the most helpful. I should just go to Cal Poly and talk to someone there.
 
4. Write down a possible EQ.  Please don't worry about wording other than ensuring that it provides the option for multiple correct answers.  At this point, the senior team is most interested in understanding your thought process.
What tools does a Stage manager need to be effective at what they do? 

Hogan sent this to me and it made me laugh so hard because its true.

Me when everything is happy and good during the show.

1. What has worked well for you concerning senior project this year?  What has made it a positive experience for you? 

Something that has worked well for me this year concerning the senior project was that  i really opened myself up to new experiences with new people. I have met so many new people through my mentorship and I am really happy that I have met these people because they have given me so much advice about stage managing. The people I work with have made this a very positive experience because they have been super kind, supportive and helpful. 

2. What are you finding difficult concerning senior project?  How can you adapt to make that portion work better for you?  How might the senior team help?

I think that keeping up with all of the logs and wb pretty difficult. I should stop putting off the things I need to keep up with. I should also start actually working 4th block like I say I'm going to. The senior team really can't do too much to help my procrastination problem... unfortunately ...
