Hello everyone hope project is going well for everyone! I figured instead of blogging three times a week I'll just go day by day and let you all know what I have been up to lol. Hope you care to know hahahaha!
Day 6: Day six was one of those boring, not much to do days. I did like four hours of entering the Ruined surveys into the computer and doing those calculations. Math is definitely not my thing so just imagine how I felt. I also did some more "speak" prep and thats always intriguing to me so that lightened my mood after doing all that data entry. Not the best day at Karamu, thats all I have to say.
Day 7: Day seven entailed lots of filing or should I say office work in general. Phones were ringing off the hook as usual and I also had to make these folders. I call them promotional folders. The staff at Karamu is always going on meetings and things of that nature so when they go out they like to "show off" what Karamu is up to so I had to but all these different flyers and brochures and buisness cards into folders and make them look really nice so that wasn't that fun but I didn't mind it. I also go to go help out with the Parade the Circle workshop again so that is always relaxing and fun. A pretty busy day but a good day.
Day 8: So day eight was interesting. I was supposed to be going with Sheffia to a radio station to hear her talk about Ruined but that got reschedule for Day 9 so I'll be letting you all know how that goes. As I've said before Karamu is getting ready for their summer camp that starts pretty soon so day eight was all about helping Sheffia prepare for her meeting in which she will be presenting the ideas for the camp and things like that. She will talking about what she has planned so its a big deal. With that came things like getting the rights for the musical the kids are doing (Suessical) and calling some people for her and really just acting as her assistant even though she already has one lol. Sheffia is definitely a busy lady so it was crazy to watch her in action and she put me in action as well.
Day 9: So today is actually day nine. The morning consisted of calling tons of people back in regards to summer camp and different kinds of classes that people wanted to get involved with. Sheffia also had her meeting about the summer camp which she is actually in as we speak. It is 11 30 and pretty soon we will be leaving to head over to the radio station so that Sheffia can talk about Ruined and all that good stuff which she was supposed to do yesterday. I don't really know what is up after that but it should be fun. I'll fill you in on the details tomorrow. See ya at mid project meeting!
I decided to comment on your blog because I know Sheffia and Ruined! So Karamu sounds like a busy place, which is not surprising judging by the fact that they do so much. It must be crazy with doing Ruined at night and preparing for other shows as well as summer camps. Do you get to work with kids a lot? What kinds of stuff does the summer class do? Is it all music, theatre and arts? I hope the Radio show goes well; I know that Ruined is very intense and serious play. Has anyone said anything about our lobby display? I love Karamu house and I'm glad they are soo busy and keep you so preoccupied with stuff going on because they do so much for the community.
