Bad week.

I need to teach college. Parents aren't allowed. And the students have to do what the teacher says. And I wouldn't have to do fundraising. I want to be a mom. Then, I can support teachers that are trying to do good and show them that they are appreciated. -Heather

The limit? Not quite

Dear Blog fans,


I'm settling in as a teacher. Heather and I have been psycho busy so far, but really, we're loving it. After killing ourselves in the last two to three weeks, we have managed still to make our lives busier: we both joined (we think) a concert band, I've joined a jazz band, RCIA classes will start at the end of this month for Heather (of which I will be attending too) and I think every weekend has some 8-hour activity on at least one of the days, for the next month and a half. This is going to be a huge test for us. We've both been this busy at times before, but not with so much riding on our ability to overcome it all. We are now the sole teachers of our respective programs. Neither of us take that lightly. We've talked about how if we stay busy and involved, as we always have been, ultimately, it will make us better teacher, musicians...and more efficiant as we don't have any time to waste. I love it and I hate it.





We're learning. We'll figure out what we like and what we don't want to do. Right now, we're testing the waters, pushing ourselves, and seeing what we're made of. Bring it on:)

I have been teaching for about three weeks, and basically, there is only one word to describe how I feel: TIRED.

Actually, there are many more words: happy, excited, frustrated, sad, grateful, pitiful, helpless, smart, funny, dumb, tired.

Anyhow. Thats all I really have time for. I have class in five minutes and I need a break. Because I am tired.

But I updated. Your turn! :)

"Music is what life sounds like."- Eric Olson

Fortunately, I get to teach it, everyday. I am so lucky to do something that I absolutely love.
Tuesday, I start my career, for the rest of my life. I make or break the way it will go on day one, for the rest of the year. It's nerve racking, exciting, and scary all at the same time! Cooooool...

This weekend I have to finish doing everything...syllabus, art curriculum, decorate room, etc. I cannot wait to get it all completed and finally get to what I went to school for, for four (haha) years: music!

Before I know it, the year will be over. I hope it's a good one!
