The Recapitulation

For the record, if you haven't tried Mexico Lindo's margaritas, you should put that high on the priority list.
My, my my, it has been a while my fellow blogging compatriots. I apologize for the extended absence from the community. A lot has happened since my last post.
The choir did amicably in Carnegie Hall in NY performing the Mozart Solemn Vespers, I enjoyed almost two weeks of summer before classes started, I completed Foundations of Education I in June, I am working almost 30 hours a week, and I probably totaled Delia's car last week. We are both okay, but the car had a tree inserted into its, eh hem, rear end, and yes, I was driving.
Things are definitely changing here. I am in my last year of school, if all goes as planned. Dr. Ray, my private voice teacher is moving to Nashville, a truly sad occasion for myself and others. Dr. Clemmons, my theory teacher for 2 years has retired, and I am actually done with all my music courses, except for Class Strings and Percussion. I can feel the impending graduation in everything that I do, and I am thrilled. The other day, I actually got a phone call from my high school choir director telling me that a half-time music ed. position was being created at my high school, and he asked me to fill it before it was advertised! Sadly, I was not able to accept because I will not have graduated, but what a thrill to be considered. Delia said, "I hope they just throw jobs at you when you finally do graduate!" Me too! I just hope when the time comes, I can excel. The thing I worry about most is getting the students to follow the rules, obey, etc., even though I will be so close to their age. I hope that I can do that. There will probably be more to that later on. But that's it for now, just wanted to remind myself how to do this.
Until later
