22. Sleeping in a tent on my own

I am a bit of a scaredy cat (I even got scared going down small mounds of slippery mad at Latitude) and I do not like sleeping in complete darkness, so sleeping in a tent on my own worries me.

Over last weekend, I had a tent buddy for the first few nights, but then she left before the final night.  I was going to be on my own : s

I have to say, I don't know if it was because I had had 11 hours sleep in four days, was drunk on cider or just didn't think about it when it came to it, but it was absolutely fine.  I had lots of space, a little bit of natural light due to distant light and the fact the sun was coming up and it was nice.  I fell asleep so quickly.

It is great to know that something I am properly scared of I can deal with (even if it is just for one night) but it is definitely a step in the right direction.

My boyfriend's tent that I borrowed : )

21. Calling a show at Latitude Music Festival for a 650 seater venue : )

This one follows on from the last post, but is because I landed on taking up extra duties and calling a show (what a Deputy Stage Manger tends to do and cues all the lights and sound for the show).

This was an amazing experience and I felt great power (as well as generally being scared), that everything I called made a difference to the overall effect of the show.

I got through two shows of completely packed houses and had a cool time doing it - especially as it was at Latitude.

I would like to thank Theatre 503 for giving me this opportunity and allowing me to add something else great to the CV.
