Karen, watching rehearsal
Shana teacher, telling Mercury who's boss
Jupiter and Venus, Nanta routine (Mamma Mia)
Grace, my newest students (she's not yet 3-years old)
Six days of work for this week, that is. One down! Four more plus a very full Saturday, jam-packed with festival dress-rehearsal, the show itself, and then a dinner. Tony and I are MC-ing the event, so to me that means best seats in the house (versus helping out backstage). Weee!
I'm happy to announce that I have running hot water again, after a week without. Yes, my pipes froze. Thank goodness I've been showering at the gym, so my routine wasn't too affected. Washing dishes with ice water isn't the most joyful of ventures, however.
Once again, had a relaxing weekend with friends and me-time: Happidus, coffee and dinner dates with friends, book shopping, reading, errands.
Julian. Let me tell you about Julian...or should I say Julian teacher. This kid pays SO much attention to detail, it's incredible. He knows how to tell time and knows how long each lesson/period is supposed to last. If I say "Mercury, we'll clean up in 3 minutes", Julian will say, "no, 8 minutes" because he knows when the class ends. What he doesn't know is that it always takes longer and so a teacher must account for that. Alternatively, he'll look at the clock and say, "Leah teacher, morning speech!" if I haven't started morning speech yet, and it's what we're supposed to be doing. A couple times last week when he finished his milk first (he always finishes first) I commented on how fast he is: "Wow, Julian, you're fast!" Then he says, "No, Leah teacher, fastest". Smart cookie.
I'm tired. Sorry this is so short. I guess I'm into a bit of a hibernation/taking it easy kind of routine, so unfortunately there is not a whole lot to report! I'm looking forward to the new school year starting (beginning of March) just to shake things up again. I did find out though that I'll get to continue teaching my current Mercury students, except come March, they'll be Venus! I'm really happy about that. I'll end on a "stay warm!" note! xo
