IT'S FRIDAY!!! *worship worship*
Apr. 20th, 2007 10:51 amSo...my cooperating teacher isn't here today. He's off judging in Norfolk. Nice of him to tell CS and I >.>;; So yeah. We're flying solo today. I'm directing choir (she's playing), and then I've got junior high study hall...and then WEEKEND, W00T!!
Yesterday, PK was coming to observe me teaching the whole choir period. So I got my lesson plan all pretty and shiny and then sat back to get increasingly nervous as we drew closer and closer to classtime and she wasn't there yet. The bell rang--she hadn't gotten there. Long story short, she had misjudged the time it took to drive here from campus and walked in ten minutes late. Oh well *shrug* And then my pretty shiny lesson plan didn't fill up the whole class period. Whoops. So I had to improvise a bit. All in all, could've gone a bit better, but could have been about a gazillion times worse.
Part of my problem is that when I'm in front of a group...my hearing goes out the window. I can't hear problems as well as I can when I step back and just listen. I've been told that training the ear to hear and differentiate problems can be the toughest thing to do, but...GAAAAAAAAAH it's making it hard to run effective rehearsals here.
I also officially met the junior high choir yesterday. I introduced myself and had them sing through the piece I'm going to work with them on. We sang through it, and then I started to have a little fun...
( This monster kicked your puppy! )
I'm thinking about doing something different with my hair. Like...taking a couple inches off (not too much, though!) and maybe doing side-swept bangs...and maybe highlights? I don't know. It's so blah right now D: Half the problem is that I can attempt to style it, and sometimes even manage to twist it into some sort of an aesthetically pleasing configuration. BUT I CAN'T GET IT TO STAY IN PLACE ALL DAY!! ;o; So...I might try and go in tomorrow morning. Need to talk to my mom about it first.
And everyone needs to go worship![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
strawberrychan because she is a being of so much awesome and win because she made me the most awesome banner/layout for my fic-journal (which is really really really close to actually opening). SO EVERYONE GO MOLEST WORSHIP HER AND HEAP HER WITH DRUGS LOVE AND PR0N!! My repayment for this lovely piece o' work will be a fic, of course. A Heiji/Kazuha smut-fic.
I've been on a writing kick the last couple of days, though. I finished the next chapter of my MKR story (and it hasn't been a year--le gasp!), and I'm partway through four other things. Fic-dump ahoy, me hearties! :D I might actually go whip out my notebook and scribble for a bit now before lunch, since I really don't have much else to do >.> *is bored*
In the meantime, I really can't wait until three-thirty. I'm more worn out at this placement than I ever was at my elementary one x_x Oh well...que sera, sera!
