Aloha, Chary!
I will never get over my jealousy of Charyse having been in Hawai'i. At least you were only in Maui, right Chary? If you had gone back to Honolulu without me...I think we'd be through at this point.
FATA this weekend! Which means little sleep, lots of singing, very little homework getting done, and also my monthly dose of socializing. Is it sad that I really only socialize on these weekends? Absolutely. But I like it that way. I'm a semi-hermit and proud.
Today was my first day ever rehearsing a real ensemble; I only had 30 minutes, but oh my did those 30 minutes go slowly, but yet it flashed by. I was so terrified - I couldn't talk to much, but I had to explain concepts - I had to come up with those concepts - I had to follow a lesson plan, and suddenly reading was really hard for me. Too many things to think about when I could focus on was how horrified I was of messing up in front of all these people. Which is silly, because they are the least intimidating group of people in the world; everyone is so nice. But I got through it, and the next time will be easier, and by the time I've been teaching for...a few years...it'll be easier.
Dear Beth, I started a lot of sentences with "but" in this journal entry. But that's ok, because it's just a journal. But I'm not certain that that suddenly makes bad grammar ok. But then, I should address my other grammatical shortcomings, too, I suppose. But I don't care.
