What was I thinking?

This has been a very interesting summer. I quit my job, blew through my savings in 3 months and now desperately need a job. I still have faith that I will find something soon. I was hoping that I could transition out of a part time job I had, and just move on. Well since it is my only source of income I decided to stay.

I got a second very part time job at a modeling and acing school, where I will be teaching acting and make-up. I think it will be fun but it will also be challenging as it is only 6-9 hours a month.

I need a job, I really don't cre what I do, but I need a full time M-F gig asap.

So very cool, I get a MacBook and I did pay for an upgrade to the superdrive and faster processor. I haven't thought of a name yet....better start thinking, I get her/him in 2 weeks.

Überstudy...

What is an Überstudy you ask? well that is an actor/actress that understudies all the main roles in a show. We came up with this term tonight at the band rehearsal for YAGMCB. One of the actresses was there and asked who would replace the lead of they couldn't perform...I said I would. "What about Schroeder?" I replied, "I would", and then I just said, "I will just replace the cast myself". Then without warning the drummer was clever and said you'd be an Überstudy.

So that is my thought for today...

73 days...

89 Days and counting

I have so much to do and so little time. The dinner theatre went well thins weekend, largely thanks to ME!!! if it wern't for me, things would have fallen apart. I did get a thank you, and that made me happy. Though I wasn' feeling well today and I left as soon as they were done singing.

I start my unit on Tuesday, teaching the new songs and getting that goaing while My Advisor will be observing every wednesday from here on out.

Things to think about...

Oh Meagan? I saw Aaron on TV they did a nice story on the concert... I do wish I could be there, but read below...

92 Days...92 days until Tom and I drive all of my belongings, with the exception of my babies and thier stuff, to Arizona.

I AM SO FREAKED ABOUT IT ALL!!!!

Figaros has a dessert pizza, I got an apple one, it was actually not bad, not bad at all. While the Middle school is still not on my happy list, my CT (We will call her Moesha) is not that far higher...yet the students at the high school are great, I am having a fabulous time with the musical and i am very sad I will not be able to be in the show. So Moesha, had me do the programs and organize the slide show for the Dinner theatre concerts this weekend. The theme is Andrew Lloyd Webber and they are doing a fairly good job for a 40 voice concert choir with only 3 guys and 1 girl who is convinced she is a guy. I did an amazing job on these, and even did all the material that the readers will read before each medley. I even wrote 'HER' director's notes. then I spent 6 hours today printing the full color programs on her laser printer at the school while she was running errands and her son....her son is SO annoying. He is 13 and a freshman in HS he is emotionally not ready, (he skipped 2 grades). He has already been suspended and stuff this year and is rude and I played a deliciuous chord for him on the keyboard that i am using in the bell piece I am writing for Tom and Sonya's Wedding, he said it sounded like Poop. I wanted to kill him. It was a 1st inversion Ab major, with an added 4th. And with the overtones that the pipe organ has it is going to be really awesome. Anyhow, so I did that for her, and she did appreciate that...but sometimes it just felt empty.

Mom had to go to the hospital for tests and stay overnight for observation since she had some odd chest pains. I am praying for her.

I heard back fom CTD and I quote..."So, yes we would be happy to host a farewell David E. Weck party here at CTD. " So I just need to pick a daye, adn I want to sing...Because I knew you" and a few other songs that will just make people cry. Tanya, if you go, we will need to sing a Duet, and Meagan, if you wanted to play for me, that would of course be fabbo, but I can always make a CD and you could actually....watch a show! *gasp*.

I am so going to miss everyone...a lot. I thought about it today...while I really have nothing keeping me here, it is my life that will be changed.

Speaking of all that, we are having a CT celebration at SOU to celebrate and thank all the teachers who allowed us into the classrooms. They asked me to sing something. I thought about singing "Becasue I knew you" from Wicked. Meagan or Tanya, either of you have the music? I don't know what I would sing otherwise...I could write something warm and tender, and extremely touching. Any ideas, let me know.

Well, lookie there, I started this post an hour ago and have been randomly typing while watching TV and playing my online games. Where I just happened to get promoted again, to full commander and was given a ship.

I guess I have a lot to think about, and I got an email from a random perosn in the northern part of scotland who loved my music on Sibelius.com and emailed me asking if I had written anything for 2 octaves. I emailed her back saying I would write somethign for her. That was really nice of her to write me.
