Its been a little bit since I did my last blog and I still haven't heard anything from MSU, not even my theory test results. Oh well, next week will come soon. Anyways this week was a pretty boring week. I did help out with talent show auditions though and all I can say is that 7th graders are something else. Friday one of them tried to set the choir director up and if he thought we made things awkward, he found out otherwise. I think our talent show is going to be pretty successful though. The best part is that the prizes are from sponsors. Last year, we probably would've received a small donation for a prize. I am so proud of my choir and what we've accomplished. Next week we get to show off and show people that small town choirs kick butt! I am so excited. :)
Also, I am almost 100% positive I am going to become a music teacher now. As I said earlier, I had to deal with 7th graders after school. Well I grade their worksheets from their music class and they were doing very bad on papers. I just happened to be finishing grading and they saw that I was grading their papers. I asked them if they wanted me to help them out so they would quit getting bad grades and they agreed. I explained all of the notes on the paper and how many beats each note or rest received and I am almost positive they understood. It was actually kind of cool. That moment made me realize that I wouldn't mind doing that for a living, even if the pay isn't really good. Hopefully I will get good news about the music program at MSU next week.
Now on to something non-music related. I finally turned in all of my scholarship applications and I feel good about a few, even though a few are almost guaranteed to a few kids that the whole class could guess who. Maybe I'll get lucky and get the alumni scholarship since I plan on coming back. I also finished all of my graduation invitations last night. Boy did that take forever. All I have to do now is wait for the party invites to be done and I can mail them out.
Time for the cute moment of the week. I got out of weight training once again on Thursday, the day of first grade music. Their lesson that day was about stories in songs. The song was the song about the old lady who swallowed a fly. They made me play the old lady when they acted out the motions. Anyway, one of the kids played the bird who ate the spider. They were told to pretend to bite the animal they had caught. He said we could really bite them and get more lunch. I couldn't help but to laugh. Then to top it off, after that he asked me if I was dark or white me, cause he preferred dark meat. I swear they get cuter each day. I miss my brothers being that little.
Thats about it for this post. Next Saturday is another choir contest, so we will be working our tails off. Then its time for me to really start practicing for state. Yay! I still get really excited when I even hear the word state.
