It is 1:21 in the morning. I got in my bed at 11:00 and literally tossed and turned until I finally just got up. I have so much on my mind. One thing on my mind....does anyone even read this? Am I just writing for the empty vast of internet or does someone read this and gather some insight from it? I really wish I knew. I guess it's one of those things where you hope that someone is reading and enjoying but it might just not be happening. I hope someone is reading though....someone, somewhere.
I really should have finished up my homework today but I think I will either just not sleep tonight and get it done or work on it at school tomorrow. I have no clue what I'm going to teach tomorrow. I think I'm going to start the musical careers part of music appreciation and we will just continue working on music in the upper band classes. The 6th graders get their instruments tomorrow. I am so excited about that. That's one reason that I can't sleep. I love instrumental rental night. The kids get so excited about their instruments. I can't even find the words to describe how much their excitement means to me. When I see a kid get their instrument for the first time. It's just the best feeling ever. Yes, I know it sounds ridiculous and I know it sounds a little mushy for me to feel that way about something that all of my kids go through but that's the point of my job. There's only one thing that tops the feeling of tomorrow night....that's the day they play their first note correctly. Wow. Their eyes light up and the feeling of self confidence just hits them and they feel like they can fly. It's amazing. It is now 1:32 and I'm still not that sleepy. It looks like I will be living off Mountain Dew tomorrow. I can't stand not getting enough sleep.
On a completely different note...next Sunday is my birthday and I think my best friend and I will be hitting up Greek fest in Columbia. I'm very excited about that. There is just something about spending your birthday with your best friend that makes life worth it. I've really missed her.
