Wow. Long time since I have gotten on this thing (sorry Mendi and Debbie)! Okay, here is a nutshell of what has been happening in my life the last few months:
1. Quit my job at ACMA
2. Started a long-term sub job at Bryant High School for the choir director
3. LOVED Teaching - took 2 of the choirs to State, directed their spring concert and taught solfeg for fun
4. Just finished the last day of school (today)
5. Going to work with a handicapped boy this summer and teach voice lessons
5. Trying to find a teaching job for the fall...if none can be found will continue the sub thing, teaching voice, and possibly start my masters in teaching
6. Going to Wisconsin in 2 weeks to visit family
That is it basically. I need to give a SHOUT OUT to my professors at DBU who taught me all I needed to know about teaching! THANK YOU! I think I have finally found what I was created to do...teach music. Who would have thunk it! I love it...it is so wonderful to talk about music all day long! The kids at the High School are great. I was really blessed to not have any real troubles erupt! It was great teaching them theory and sight-singing...they really didn't do much before me. That is something EVERY singer needs to know how to do! I thought it was funny...every day I would get really excited about the theory and sight-singing. Ha Ha.
I am looking forward to working with Robert this summer...it will be nice to show love and compassion as my job. Who knows...it may even give me a glimpse of nursing to see if it's for me.
Our trip to Wisconsin is fast approaching...don't you know I am going to eat my weight in cheese! I am bringing a ton home and a cheese-head if I can find one! I have always wanted one of those things! We are going to stay with my sister Brenda for aprox. 5 days! We are driving...we have the whole trip mapped. We get to see Lincoln's grave, the windy city and all kinds of stuff. Not to mention take my Granny and Aunt out to dinner one night!
Okay. I need to get off this thing...dinner is calling and it won't make itself! I promise not to be away so long next time (promise Debbie and Mendi)! Until then.....
