I'm teaching orchestra this year. I've never taught orchestra in my life. I can't even remember what pitches to tune the strings to. I just got the instruments today. Tomorrow should be interesting.
I got an email last Thursday from the director at Westfield telling us band camp started Monday. Guess where I've been spending my evenings? Boo getting home at 9:15 at night. Makes for a long day....oh an I got offered the supplemental contract again this year. I don't know if I will take it. It entails a lot more than just rehearsals, but it also gives me a lot more money....
I agreed to be the faculty sponsor for an after school club that a couple students want to start. I told them I would do it if they did all the work and I supervised. What club you say? A Step Team. Like the movie Stomp the Yard. Yes, the whitest female there is in charge of the step team. Oh boy.
I also agreed to start a drumline that meets after school. My only saving grace is that I don't have drums yet. Marching Band is also supposed to be sometime after school as well.....
Oh, and I'm starting my Masters this fall. I can't decide if I want to do Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis on technology or to do the whole shebang and add a Technology endorsement to my license. It's a difference of 18 credit hours....
Oh and sometime in there I'm supposed to relax and enjoy life. Ha.
Burn out here I come!
