Entry 18: I Gotta Lot of Livin' To do!

Well, Christmas vacation is long gone and we are beginning to get back into the school groove. Last half of Senior year...already! As I completed my timeline, I quickly came to realize just exactly how fast this half of the year is going to pass. To be honest, I am a little nervous about my timeline because I have very important dates to complete in a very short amount of time! 2 months may seem like a lot of time...but it really isn't! I still have to write my addendum for my project because I have decided to pursue teaching Drama instead of performing my own show. I met with my mentor this Wednesday and we brainstormed about alternatives and he encouraged me to pursue the drama teaching. For this last 2 months of lessons, the students will be preparing their own performances that will be performed for the parents the week of March 7. I am very, very, very excited about the rest of the year, and I am excited about the challenge of directing that lies before me. In some ways I may not know what I am getting into...but I am very excited about te adventure! I love meeting with the kids, and have defintiely missed them over this Christmas break! However, next week I will begin meeting with them again and I will have their plays picked out in which I will play the role as the narrator as they act out the story. The whole month of February I plan on meeting with the classes every week instead of alternating weeks because this performance will take more than just a couple of weeks. I am very excited about the future, although I know it will be very busy, and I am ready to teach my kids!
