Still here!
Hey, so I feel really bad. I was at Pat's tonight and looking at his LJ and realized that I haven't updated mine in a LONG, LONG time. Booo. So, heregoeseverything.
I'm working at Tutor Time, which is a day care/ pre-school. I wanted to work with the 5-12yr kids, but instead I'm with the 14-24mo kids. They're sooo little. I actually love it. I wasn't sure that I would, but I do. This age is absolutely amazing- they're just learning to speak. To watch this develop is facinating. It's so not what I'm interested in, and yet it is. I'm just so happy to be teaching, and so happy to be enjoying it. This is perhaps even more assurance that teaching is the right field for me (at least for a while!)
And that's everything. That's all I do. OH! and I'm reading The Fountainhead. It's SO good. I want to start on the books for the book club I'm attempting to start, but they still haven't come!! GAH!! Yes, I started a book club, which makes me the ultimate nerd. Totally bitchin! I'm also practicing teaching recorder. Not practicing the horn, but practicing teaching recorder. Wanna lesson? Call me. Jackson shouldn't be too hard, but I want it to be (hard for me.) I want these kids to really love playing when they leave. Like, LOVE it. Not the recorder specifically, but all music. I want to triple their enrollment in instrumental music - which shouldn't be too hard, considering the current numbers. But I am so determined to make this an extremely worthwhile experience. God, I just want to make a difference.
Pat and I are still dating. The past 4 (or 5, if you count it all) months have been insane. I have this new lust for life. I'm more excited about everything. I am very much in love. Aww. :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PATRICK HAIN!!
