I just got back from my second full GMEA conference in Savannah and have since come to the realization that I could do this. This public school teaching thing. I could go into a school Monday through Friday, eight to five, and teach from my lesson plans. I could rehearse a mediocre ensemble and help them love it.
I am so easily influenced by people I respect, so I could see myself being talked out of grad school immediately (assuming I get in to begin with) and teaching first. It wouldn't be exactly what I want, but it could be good for me.
But the best thing for me - who knows?
Right now I'm eating popcorn and watching Pretty Woman, and that feels pretty good.
I'm strangely looking forward to practicing.
