Sound of Music

So my co-worker (another tutor) said today when I walked in today, "Oh I'm sure you're excited to get home and watch the 'Sound of Music' on Opera today." She thought she was joking when she said that. She was surprised when I responded, "I know, I saw that on a commercial and can't wait to see it since it's favorite all time movie!" (I should have showed her my iphone with a special folder for the Sound of Music's soundtrack.) Yes, I actually saw a commercial for it last night and i even wrote myself a note so I would NOT forget! Thankfully, the kids I had at the end of the day, were not there, so I got home just in time to watch Opera. (For the record, it's probably the first time I've watched a full episode of Opera in about 10 years.)

As for the new job, I've learned I am not made to be a full time grade school teacher or middle school teacher! I'm glad I'm only part time and getting paid for it. Germs, dirty hands, little kids that can't sit still, teenagers that don't care, yada yada is not my cup of tea. On the bright side, the kids in the middle, 5th graders, seem to be eager sponges that want to learn. And it's amazing the power that a simple sticker has over 2nd graders!
