CPS Internship 2016 Journal
To fufill the academic requirements of my CPS internship in the Summer-Fall 2016 semesters my faculty advisor Todd Canedy is requiring an journal of my expectations, growth, and experiences as an intern.
I had signed on to be a CPS intern last spring semester after giving Tori Oakes my resume. At the time there was some concern that I might have a schedule conflict for the Summer 2016 productions of Mary Poppins and Ring Of Fire, the two shows for which I was to serve as an intern.
A miscommunication occurred in which Tori believed for a time that there was in fact a schedule conflict on my end that did not exist. Immediately prior to the Mary Poppins production I got into contact with Tori to prepare for the internship, and we worked out the nature of the miscommunication which lead to me filing paperwork with Tobi White in the continuing education office to have an internship that would start in the Summer 2016 semester, and end with 120 contact hours with CPS in the Fall 2016 semester.
I am much indebted to the fact that Tobi White found some scholarship money to finance this internship because as an non-traditional student my finances are very constrained.
My work in the summer, turned out to rather being a crew member assigned to one of the CPS productions I served as an extra hand during the strike of Ring of Fire, as well as helping Tori and other members of the drama department prepare the PAC for the coming Fall Semester.
This work included moving dance bars from one studio to another, sweeping and mopping sets, arranging lobby chairs, moving prop furniture from one theater to another in the PAC and other general labor duties.
At the beginning of the school semester Tori and I met to tally my total number of hours performed on during the summer and concluded that I had 28/120 of my contact hours completed during that period.
Tori also expressed that my expected first major duties during the semester would be to assist Alexis Foster in the costume shop, and to aid in the set construction for the Crane Opera.

I am to continue to put in 6 contact hours a week, over 2 three hour blocks as well as respond to other requests for my services as needed.
