My school career is finally coming to a temporary (meaning Ill get my doctorate eventually...later...) close. Oh how I have waited for this day! I was supposed to get two masters, but, due to an unwritten university rule, I would have to RETAKE over half of my classes to get the second degree, so I have "settled" on an MA in music with my coursework emphasis in Music History (that was an incredibly long sentence...I apologize.). My thesis will be written by June and I will be "walking" at the graduate graduation ceremony, but my oral exam will take place in the fall.
My recital is on June 5. This is a bittersweet moment for me, as it will be my last for quite some time. In fact, I don't know if there will be anymore at all. Strange thought to be sure.
This summer will be busier than normal (is that actually possible???). I will be having two surgeries, one on each hand, to try and fix my tendinitis problems once and for all. I will be working at Outdoor Rec again, as well as at my usual summer camp through EWU. Out of the ordinary will be the two week long family vacation to Eagle Lake, Travis, and Yellowstone. I am SO very much looking forward to it. Same will be going with us, which i am also very excited for. I cannot wait to show him my childhood camping spot and create new memories with him!!!
My biggest endeavor this summer will be to find a job! My main goal is to ultimately teach college and I am in the process of applying for a very part-time, one year position at North Idaho College in Coeur d'Alene, ED, teaching music history. It is such a great opportunity, but there are also many pitfalls. I still don't know which will take the heavier weight when and if it comes time to make a decision on taking the job. We shall see I guess!
That's all for now. Really a boring life if I might say so myself! But now you know the news!
