One Thing

Hey Everyone,

Back again, another week of J-Term gone and I'm almost getting ready to head home for another break. We have another week left of class and then have a few days before our next term.

I'm excited to get another break, but I'm really enjoying my J-Term class. I get to help teach kids grades K-12 about my passion, music. It's great when I get to help a new elementary student figure out how to play a song on their recorder and how great they feel about it, or when I can help someone in high school choir figure out a rough patch in a song. It makes me feel like I'm really making a difference with what I'm doing, and has really solidified my love for music and belief that I want to teach someday. So I'm definitely bummed that this experience is going to be over soon, because I've started to build up some trust with the students, and I've definitely learned a ton. Pretty much the only reason that I'll enjoy this class being over is not having to get up at six in the morning anymore, haha.

So, I was walking down the hall and I realized there was no one out and about. Usually I see at least one person in the halls and around but everyone was shut up in their rooms. Then I remembered the Packers were playing tonight. Now, I'm not always the biggest Packer fan, but no one likes the Giants(and if you do, no offense, but come on now) and I like to pull for Brett Favre. But I heard tons of angry screaming a little bit ago, and I'm sad to hear that they lost.

It's been kind of rare to see people anywhere except holed up in their rooms recently, because it has been insanely cold around here, and most of us value our appendages too much to venture outside for long.

Anyway, not much going on here. J-Term is super laid-back and there's not much to report on.

Talk to you soon,

Alex
