Sick of Being in Class!!

So, I am on day eight of nine and now I am getting a little batty. Part of the problem is that we are now covering how to do musical theatre auditions. And, well, I teach that for a living :-) So, once in a while an interesting comment comes my way; but mostly, I'm bored to tears. And my back hurts from sitting 12 hours a day, and I am sick of sleeping in an uncomfortable dorm bed with nasty spring digging into my body, and cafeteria food makes me sick . . .

I know, I know . . . I'm whiny now. I have learned so much this week. And I am ready to go and apply it. But nine solid days 12 hours a day with no breaks is too long! On a positive note, I have made some really, really great friends. And I am so motivated to go teach and . . . SING!!! I have been so unmotivated to sing myself in the last year. I need to perform. I need to find something to perform in for me . . . not for the students. I think that is my new goal for the year.

Funny thing happened today. I was browsing the internet and reading my e-mail instead of paying attention in class (what a bad student I now make!!!) and my friend e-mailed everyone in her life to say that she had just moved to . . . WINCHESTER, Virginia. Guess where I am????!!!!! Winchester, VA!!! So, she and I are going to go hang tonight. That'll be fun.

Tomorrow I have morning lectures. One more meal in the caf. Then, we go over a test, get our certificates, and then the girls and I are going to go have some fun!!!! Monday - I get on a plane and go back to the beautiful mountains!!! Yipee!

ooo - I'll post a picture of my two friends that drove in with me. We wouldn't have made it through the week without each other!

Living like a student again is a good humbling experience when having to regularly teach students.
