March/April 2011 update (because I'm a copycat!)

This is mostly for my far-away friend in Canada. :) March--- I took the Music Content exam for teachers...I was certain that I failed, but I apparently beat the minimum requirement by 22 points! My dad had surgery on his back. He had problems with his sciatic nerve because of a ruptured disk. The surgery worked, but he is still recovering. Percussion ensemble...We sold out 1010 seats on March 1st in 4 or 5 hours. This was my last time performing in that ensemble. I'm a little sad, but glad to be moving on. Big news--- New boyfriend! His name is Jared. We have been friends since he came in as a first-year music major in 2008. He plays trumpet and has a lot of the same interests as I do. I really enjoy spending time with him. April--- I'm finishing up my last semester of classes. I had 40 observation hours for my curriculum and assessment class, and 10 hours for a special education class. I get to teach in the 40 hour observation, and I am working with middle-schoolers. At first, I hated it, but I have gotten used to it and the kids seem to like me. I am still unsure of where I will be for my teacher internship next semester. My sister is trying to get her boys to share a room. Joseph is 4, and Easton turned 1 in January. She said that Easton wants to carry on conversations, which keeps Joseph awake and annoyed because he can't quite understand Easton's jibber jabber....I believe Joseph was bribed with $5. Anywho, that's all. I finally got skype to work on this computer, so perhaps we should actally set up a time to chat since everything works!
