More than just young at heart

For just a brief moment I was worried that I had joined the land of the old fogies. Good news: at least some parts of me (like my ears) are still young! YIPPEE! How do you fare?

P.S. This is legit. Shawn has tried using it in the presence of a fifty-year-old and the subject was unable to hear the noise.

Parent Teacher Conference

Last night was Parent Teacher Conference. One would think after having a 14-hour day that I would have been miserable and exhausted, however, I was quite surprised that I rather enjoyed myself. It was fun to meet the parents of my students and to be able to "chip in" a few remarks on the students behalf. I thought I would post that little tidbit before I head out for another long day at school. Tonight is the vocal Solo/Ensemble recital. A few of my friends (from UVU) and I will be judging and I am proud to say that I have helped quite a few of the students prepare their pieces. It has been a lot of fun and I am excited to see the results!! Well, I better jet! Have an awesome day everyone!!

Nothing too exciting. . . . well, on second thought

I apologize for not posting in such a long time but there hasn't really been anything too exciting to tell or talk about. Here is what's going on in my life:

Item No. 1: I am halfway through my fourth week of student teaching in which 2 1/2 of them I have been sick. I went to the doctor today (finally) and was given a prescription for some antibiotics.

Item No. 2: On a much happier note, someone upstairs is really looking out for me; I found out yesterday that they are going to allow student teachers in the music program to keep their scholarships! (I'm sorry Mari.) This really brightened my day!

Item No. 3: I am applying for graduation tomorrow!

Item No. 4: Only 6 1/2 weeks left! I really am enjoying student teaching--I love the students, the subject and my cooperating teacher. However, I do not enjoy the exhaustion, rowdy Sophomores (on some days) and the early, long hours.

All in all life is good, just very busy and very tiring. Hope everything is going well for all of you! TTFN--Ta Ta For Now!
