Hello, Summer!

Well, about a month has come and gone. 

I'm still alive, :) but a lot has happened in life since my last posting. 

Let me fill you in...

May 8th, 7-12 field trip to the NC Zoo (US's 2nd largest)

Me and my bestie, Sethanna

"Splish splash, I was takin' a bath..." 

Really cool picture (at least, I think) that I captured somewhere in the Zoo. 

Cone Flowers. I think.

A bear. 

Anways, the Zoo was great. The same week, my co-hort in crime, Sethanna, and I hosted/decorated/planned/executed/etc. the school's banquet for faculty, board members, and students. It was fun. All 40+ hours of it, but it turned out beautifully. 

Then, let's see...following the banquet, there was:

1) Piano Recital

2) All-school field trip 

3) 8th Grade Graduation (for which I was also responsible) 

4) School-clean up (I had to clear out both classrooms)

5) High School Graduation (I had to help with music)

Sigh. Needless to say, Thursday (May 24) was the LAST day of school 

for the 2011-2012 school year. May I just say...YAY! 

(for those who are unaware, teachers look forward to summer as much, if not more,

than students. :) ) 

It has truly been a great school year teaching at CCA! I will definitely miss my students.

However, I am really excited about all this fall holds at UNCG School of Music. 

I'm starting off with a 'bang' by working at a large music seminar

next week, which should be interesting. 

To kick off the summer, here is a video of one of my very favorite

Louis and Ella duets: Summertime. 

  Enjoy! 

Stay tuned for the next post in my Educator's Alphabet series!
