What to do about next year

Ok, so I have been thinking a lot about next year. I've thought about getting my pa certification and trying to get a job in Pittsburgh, and eve if I can't get a job in pgh still just moving in with Dan and subbing up there. I am now thinking about getting my master's. I've been thinking about getting my master's in Vocal Performance. I think I am going to audition at Duq and WVU. I know some people got into Duq that I am confident I can sing better than, so that gives me some confidence to audition, I am going to start taking some voice lessons here and prepare pieces to go audition with. The one thing is, I don't know what school I would like to go to more, I mean if one school gives me an assistant ship obviously I am going there, but if I don't get anything from either school, or somehow get something from both schools I'm not sure what school I would choose. Oh well, I can think about that later. Nothing else is really going on, just work and sleep and hope for a sub job in the morning. We'll see what happens, I just can't wait to do the auditions and here back from the schools. I would really love it if both schools gave me money and I had to pick one.

Long Time...

So Annie informed me that I have been lacking on my updates.. my bad. So lets see, I had my first band concert since the last time I was on here. It went ok, I had a lot of parents come up and congradualte me on what I had them playing for the short amount of rehearsal time I had with them. I guess I'm just really hard on them, I heard things that I knew they could have played better, but the msitakes happened, and we went on. I'm just glad that my first concert is over. Now I am getting ready for my spring concert. I think I'm going to try and make a Movie/Musical concert theme, is that a bad idea?? I know I'm going to have to throw some religious songs in there because it is a Catholic School, but for the majority I want to do some movie/musical songs. I'm thinking jarassic park, tomorr from annie, edlwiess (sp?), chariot fire I think it's called, it's the part in the movie when people run slowly towrad each other, that song in the backward, should be funny. I'm picking some other ones too. We'll see how it goes. Xmas break was wonderful, seein dan for like a week was amazing. He got me a northface fleece that is so warm, some clark house shoes that are so comfrotable, a theraputic pillow, and a coffee mug that I had my eye on. It was so nice spending Christmas Eve with his family. Then we went to Charoltte, NC for New Years and stayed with Molly, I had soo much fun! We went to this 80's bar downtown called The Breakfast Club. It was awesome, the tables were rubics cubes, and the drinks were named after different 80's icons, sayings, etc. We took this shot called twisted sister.....OMG the WORST shot ever!! It was Jager, Schnapps, and some other kind of Liquor, absolutely awful, I thought I was going to throw up. It did what we wanted it to do and fast, but just tasted worse than anything I have every tasted. Now I'm back in Motown and back to work and giving lessons, I have 31 students now, I didn't even realize it till tonight when I counted. I have to stop taking lessons, I'm working till 830pm 3x a week....INSANE! Other then that I'm good, going to see Dan this weekend, and then next weekend I'm going to a wedding with Sarah Hall and Dan is coming too, should be a BLAST!! Well, off to grab something to eat and work on lesson plans for tomorrow.
