Learn to sit

If I have learned one thing in my time at BYU, it is this: Learn to sit and do nothing. Honestly, if you want to be a professional on the stage, whether it's opera, acting, dance, whatever learn how to sit and not cause problems. This was illustrated to me again on Saturday when we had lighting tech rehearsal for "Tales of Hoffman." in the five hours that I was there, I was on stage for 15 minutes. Yes, it seems like that would probably be a horrible waste of time, but for this thing to look good, it was important for me to be there for that whole long thing and to not get in the way. Someday, I hope to even be paid for sitting there, won't that be nice? Though on second thought it seems eerily similar to my current job...
