Week 4: Connector
I've been able to connect to this book on many levels. In this chapter is was easiest to relate to Tina's crazy stress from a very demanding schedule. My favorite part was when she talked about the "best part of the worst thing every," when she said everything she loved most was within 10 feet of her. If I'm having an especially overwhelming week and I go to my theatre group, it is such a relief. I like to walk into a room with them, take a deep breath, and think 'everyone here loves me and knows me, there's no one here that could cause me any harm.' I suppose it sounds cheesy, but it's such a relief to me to think that the people I love are all together, we all love the same things, and we can all understand each other. It makes everything seem a little bit smaller in an overwhelming week. It's nice to just have that group of people that you can be yourself around and not have to be so tightly wound.

I can really relate to this, especially with theatre too! I can really relate it back to when I was a sophomore. I juggled school and a full-time rehearsal and show schedule (35-40 hours per week for 4.5 weeks, then more like 20 hours for the next 7.5 weeks). Although my schedule was absolutely nuts, I felt a certain calmness and ease when I was working on the show. Being with these wonderful people made any worries I had melt away.
