It's been a while. Sorry about that.
Lately I've taken up piano. I've wanted to play forever but never had the chance. One drawback is that I don't own a piano or a keyboard, so I have to sneak into school, lock myself in the music room, and wait for all the people to leave so I can start butchering Jingle Bells. If I hear voices, the music suddenly stops. There's a reason for that. There are five-year-old kids better than me who can keep a beat and can remember how to match the keys to music in no time flat (piano reference intended). Maybe in four years I'll let somebody hear me.
That's all I have to say about that.
Also, school is finished.
No big deal.
Kidding. It's a big deal, and every time I think about how I don't have to plan out another whole week of lessons and grade a billion stacks of papers, I get this overwhelming feeling of serenity and peace. You mean I get to go a whole day without having to hear my own voice? It's been a long time coming. Now I'm going to finish crocheting a blanket, spend time with family and friends that I've been neglecting for a while, get pumped for Dani's wedding and to see all my Canadian friends (I stinking miss you people!) hang out with Grandma in Montana and just do whatever. Oh, and plan for next year, but can we just dismiss that fact for a bit? Please? Thank you.
Praying you're all doing well. I'll write a better post later, one with lots of reflective bits about education and a newfound determination to hunt down Justin Bieber, tell him he's ruining the minds of young high school girls, hand him a pink slip, and walk away. Oh what a changed world we would become if we could fire celebrities.
