What summer vacation?
Well, here I am, haven't done a blog in ooooh so many days, and not that anyone reads it, but I am going to post what has happened in the last 2 months.
June: rehearsal for Carousel (RMT, 2004) was tedious, as it usually was, lots fo rehearsals for Bells and then on top of that teaching the summer day camp, I felt like I was going to explode. My sister was also here with her sons and I never got to see any of them. It was work, rehearse, rehearse, drive, sleep. That was about it.
July: Less rehearsals, now in production Carousel went very well, some good crowds. First half was still teaching Drama and Music, and the kids did phenominal. Then I started grad school...4 week summer session that I need to do very well in or I am out!
August: Well here we are, 3 weeks into the program, and finals are...next week! I have so many papers to write and books to read, but it has been a valuable learning experience. Assuming that I get my 3.0 in each class I start student teaching in Aug 30th with my full-day observations, I was told secretly that I will be at Eagle Point H.S. and that is very exciting for me. I am looking forward to it. I am also looking forward to getting financial aide in the fall since I quit my job at church (figured I would be too stressed, and I was right). My parents and cats have been very supportive of me in this program the past few weeks and so far it has been good. I seem to be doing very well, and barring any huge mistakes on my part it looks like I will pass.
Looking ahead though, it looks as if I will get a Summer vacation from August 13th to August 24th. I do an inserice with the local teachers on teh 25th get a 4 day weekend then I am in the classroom. I am rather excited and nervous about this as well. I would like to say that one of my friends (her name has been changed to protect her identity) Anyankah has been a tremendous help. She has been supportive and I appreciate all that she has done.
Finally, 31 on the 16th!
I get to go to the coast with some friends camping on the 21st and 22nd. That will be a treat.
