Maybe I got a job???Category: work
I had an interview this morning for a long term substitute position. I would be teaching high school chorus, 3 middle school choruses, and some general music classes. It went really well and I'm excited. Of course one of the first things I read when I got home was the live journal of a girl I graduated with who teaches in Williamsville. The whole article was basically dedicated to how much she hates teaching and can't wait till the year is over so she can go to grad school for something entirely different. The odd thing is, I always thought she was the best one in our methods classes and had the most potential. And now she hates teaching music! I hope I won't suffer the same fate! Yikes!!!

yummy in my tummyI'm obessed with making this lately...
MK's (current) Favorite Dessert:
1 large bowl of Jell-O Instant Vanilla Pudding (directions are on box)
A fairly ripe banana (or 2), sliced
A box of Nilla wafers
Combine ingredients in a large bowl in the following manner:
(from bottom of bowl)
Layer 1 - Nilla Wafers (whole)
Layer 2 - Pudding
Layer 3 - Banana slices (with a few Nilla Wafers crumbled on top)
Repeat layers until ingredients are gone and/or bowl is full.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate before eating (unless you can't wait that long).
...Heaven. It's even better after it's been refrigerated for a couple days.

That was on the Issac show this week. He said it was so trailer trash good, I have to agree. Try adding whip cream/cool whip to the pudding for extra fatass goodness..

Yesterday was my first adventure in substitute teaching. It was actually totally fine, it was really easy. I only did half a day. Hooray for me.
This morning I was called again to substitute for a high school boy's gym class. I declined for the obvious reason that that would be the worst thing ever.
I got my hair cut and my hairdresser talked me into buying expensive hair gel. Hopefully it will make an enormous difference in my life.
ps I do have another job so that when I decline substitute teaching jobs I don't just sit on my ass. Okay well I actually do but I get paid to do it. Working at an office is entertaining enough when I'm busy but I will be glad to not have to do it every day.
I like to run.
I get to see Renee Fleming's dress rehearsal at Kleinhan's for free by pretending to still be a student at Fredonia. I'm excited, as long as I don't run into a certain individual. Read about Renee.
I'm acquaintances with her half brother. I actually don't even love her voice but she's like the most famous soprano in the world so it's pretty great to see her for free.
As usual I will end with some pictures summing up my entry. (By usual I mean I have done this like twice before.)
(I sort of combined two ideas with this picture.)
hey (e:jessbob) and (e:maureen)...we miss you!

have you ever had birthday cake ice cream at Coldstone? It tastes exactly like funfetti cake! While a couple people actually got poisoned from it and they took it of the menu for a while, it' back now and I think it's well worth the risk.

I just think this picture is funny.Category: funny
congrats on the interview. good luck hopefully you will get the position!! I know what it is like trying to get a new job. no fun. especially when you have all of the other personal stuff going on in your life. i undestand that too. just hang with all of the people who love you, thats what i do. you have to. they will help you get through this rough spot. i hope everything works out for you. :)
yay (e:MK), you're going to be a fabulous music teacher...better than any we had :)
Congrats! Having gone through school as a music person I'm happy to hear that you may be getting your foot in the door. The music teachers at my high school were always the more colorful people in the building.
Don't let one persons experience teaching prejudice your thoughts on it. Your friend may have had the ability but for some reason or another its not for her. Knowing about what you teach is one thing, but being able to actually execute the job is another! I don't know you well or anything, but you seem to have the right personality to succeed.
Congrats on the interview and I'm glad it went well. I'm sure you will love being a teacher and be an awesome one (think mr laduca) just kidding
