Stage Manager’s Log Ms. Prinsendam Friday, May 26, 2006 Atlantic Crossing Day 4 Well, going to sleep earlier than the past couple nights has certainly helped, with the loss of another hour, but I still am tired. I don’t want to take up drinking lots of coffee so I catch sleep when I can. I…

Stage Manager’s Log Ms. Prinsendam Thursday, May 25, 2006 Atlantic Crossing Day 3 Today was another long tiring day. We moved another hour ahead and thus lost another hour of sleep. It kinda sucks. I had another usual morning, breakfast then a port lecture at 0915. After the port lecture the second officer gave a…

Stage Manager’s Log Ms. Prinsendam Wednesday, May 24, 2006 Atlantic Crossing Day 2 The nice thing about today was the fact that there was no time change. Loosing an hour is hard. I suppose it is probably better than loosing 5 all at the same time and getting jet-lag, but it still sucks to loose…

Stage Manager’s Log Ms. Prinsendam Wednesday, May 23, 2006 Atlantic Crossing Day 1 At sea days are always the longest days here in the theatre. For this Atlantic crossing we have a lecture every morning at 0915. The morning lecture is about the ports that we will be visiting. It is pretty interesting. The lecture…

Stage Manager’s Log Ms. Prinsendam Monday, May 22, 2006 Half Moon Cay – Bahamas Today started very laid back, there is really nothing going on until my rehearsal with Paul later on.

Stage Manager’s Log Ms. Prinsendam Sunday, May 21, 2006 Fort Lauderdale, FL Today started very early. Well, I suppose that 0700 is not early, but it felt like it. Anyway, I had to be up then to take care of US Immigration even though I can’t get off the boat until Tuesday on account of…

Stage Manager’s Log Ms. Prinsendam Saturday, May 20, 2006 Half Moon Cay – Bahamas Today was a good day. I got to sleep in, though as I mentioned before, you would never know you slept in unless you look at the clock or go outside. I went up for breakfast, they have great pancakes made…

Stage Manager’s Log Ms. Prinsendam Friday, May 19, 2006 At Sea Today was another whirlwind day. I got up at 0700 hrs after having gone to bed around 0100 hrs after the midnight rehearsal for the show. One of the strangest things about being on the ship is the fact that the light you go…

Stage Manager’s Log Ms. Prinsendam Thursday, May 18, 2006 Road Town, Tortola – B.V.I. First day onboard a ship as staff. It has been one heck of a day. This morning I woke up in a hotel in Road Town, Tortola, whose name I can’t remember. It wasn’t the best of places, but it was…

So there it is, four years of college, a degree in my hand, I tear in my eye, and a job that starts in three days. My nostalgia and sadness at leaving and saying goodbye to my friends, and collegues at Ithaca made me think of the following song from Wicked: FOR GOOD I’ve heard…
