About Me

My photo
I am a person who loves people, and I try to draw inspiration and find the beauty in everything. I am motivated and passionate about the things I do. I have wonderful people in my life. I have lots of ideas that I don't always know how to make a reality. But that's alright- life's a start.

When Time Permits, I Get Dressed Up

No Tricks, Just Treats

I love that the end of October came faster than I expected! It was a very long month of teaching, but it went better than I thought it would, and the end is in very near sight! Halloween is definitely one of my favorite holidays (I went to my first two Halloween parties of the year last night), and I am thoroughly enjoying the treats that this time of year brings!

Living in Leather

I haven't been one to wear much leather in my life, but I recently found the perfect pair of leather shorts at Express. I could LIVE in these shorts! I dressed them up for a friend's birthday party last night, and then unabashedly wore them again all day today with a tee shirt. My mom thinks they make me look like a "Harley girl." I don't know about that, but I do know that I have the following ladies to thank for their inspiration via their blogs. :)

Progress Reports

It's been some time since my last post due to my new job taking up a lot of my time and energy! On top of my job, all the extra things I'm doing on the side (additional ensembles).... it really adds up! I just finished writing my students' progress reports (phew!), and after looking at how all of them are doing, I thought about what a progress report for me would say these days. Probably something along the lines of this, as far as being a new teacher goes:

On a scale of 1 (low)-10(high):
Needs improvement: 7 (always more to be done)
Learns quickly (because she has to): 9
Exhausted on a daily basis: 7
Has fun with her students: 6-7 (depends on the class)
Effort: 10

I don't know. Something like that.
