Post 500!

wOOt!
Anyhoo.
It's still technically the weekend. And I am still alive. I'm amazed that I'm still alive.
And I can't believe that I got everything done.
Because there was a lot.
And by a lot, I mean this:
8 page term paper for music history along with a take home written test, listening final on Friday, and 20 listening logs to finish. Two worksheets for theory along with 6 weeks' worth of Horvit and a dictation final. Final project for general music methods, which included five detailed lessons that went along with a "unit" as well as a bulletin board mock-up and a legitimate field trip and a resource person/guest speaker and a culminating activity that involved that parents, every aspect being something that actually could be done in a classroom setting. As well as organizing a term's worth of handouts and lesson plans into a binder. For cello bass methods there was an arrangement of Farmer in the Dell for a string quartet along with journals of the lessons we have given to students so far and three programs, one each for an elementary, junior and senior high school string concert. There were specifications as to how much of the music could be arranged and what grade it had to be, along with a time length for each one. Also, I had to give lessons to my student and have them play for the professor. In ED 100 there was a half hour long group presentation and a paper. Also, for general music methods, I had to team teach an actual fifth grade class for a half hour (which took a TON of planning). There was also the finishing up of field experience. Along with a playing final for cello. Plus flute lessons, practicing for those lessons, flute choir practice every freaking day along with a performance on Friday night and a recital today, plus required recital attendance for that and recital attendance to finish up my recital attending. And a band concert. And band practice. And piano lessons, as well as practicing for those piano lessons. All while going to classes and work and just dealing with everything I deal with on a daily basis.
Ack.
But it's done!
Now I just have to polish off the listening logs, survive juries tomorrow, take an ED 100 and theory final, and survive piano basic skills.
And work tomorrow. That's always a party.
Not a whole lot has been going on other than homework.
Tour week is coming, which is going to be ok. It's band tour and I'm not particularly thrilled about playing a concert every single day while leaving places around 8 in the morning every day while not being in the same spot for more than one night at a time...yeah. It'll be ok. I'm just not particularly excited about it.
Then it's May term and I'll be taking marching band/instrument repair and that'll be fun. Along with working and some piano lessons and playing the alto sax in May term band. =D
I'm excited about the alto sax part. It'll be fun to be on a not-flute and I heart the other people who will be joining me. =D Melissa H and Kelsey A and Jen C. =]=]
Annnd now...I'm going to chill for a while. Because I can. Because hell week is over. !!!!
