you want to be a music teacher? (dr. k)

its hard to believe i've just successfully finished 2 weeks of summer lessons. next week is band camp. wow, time really flies.

i was preparing music and drill sheets in my band room this afternoon and something came in my mind. i noticed i felt really relaxed and at ease. it seems really natural- to be teaching- to be preparing for the school year. last year, during student teaching i was really nervous. i couldn't be relaxed in that atmosphere. i thought that everything i did was judged, criticized, and frowned on. now, there is no one looking over my shoulder. although, i did have a parent sit in on one of my lessons (btw it went really well!) so, perhaps this was the right career move. or maybe i'm just relaxed because school hasn't started yet. i guess we'll see.

tonight i'm going to have a few glasses of wine and watch the first x files movie. oh no, i'm not ashamed! after all, it is david duchovny's birthday today. (don't ask me how i know that.) and why shouldn't i celebrate? wow...i know... i'm pathetic.
