Happy Easter


Five More Weeks!!!

Spent the day with great company and yummy food. As much as I'm looking forward to the end of the semester I'm not looking forward to all the work that is going to happen in the following weeks...yikes!


I made the salad :-)


The Girls; Christin, Ursula, Lizbee, and yours truly.


Upclose and personal with Urs.

Always on the Brink of Something

it's late, or early depending on how you want to look at it, and i've been up prepping for F200, aka "bad-band" but I never refer to it by that name.

Today was a blur, and tomorrow will be even fuzzier. Earlier tonite a friend and I chatted over coffee (part of the reason I'm up) about the burn-out status of our department (music in general) and how some professors lose touch with the mental stamina of their students. I don't believe it's intentional after all we all contribute to it...but I think there comes a point when we all need to step back and put things into perspective.

This is more for my own benefit, I have a nasty habit of trying to do it all.

:) anyway

One class that has brought me a whole lot of joy is actually not a music class. My Intro to Special Ed, has honestly taught me a lot about how to "not sweat the small stuff".
And because of that simple phrase I'm becoming a better educator, and person.

Well, that is all I'm striving for at this point. Hopefully it will all fall into place soon...
