Well, I'm here in SD... it didn't really sink in that I was actually going to have to leave until about 10 minutes before I left and I was a mess. I'm not a huge fan of missing people or going away or anything like that, but I had no choice so here I am. I am not having a horrible time as of yet, I'm just a bit bored. I've been assured that the boredom will go away over time. Thus far I have learned that I am capable of making my bed and having a clean room for 3 days in a row, high schoolers are not scary, you should go to bed when you're tired, I should have written down all the choral warmups I've ever done, football is hard to play in a small school, it's hard to make freshmen boys sing, and basses are of utmost importance to a choir. I'm just not so sure I'm ever going to be assigned to a high school. It doesn't really help that I haven't taught anything yet, so I guess I shouldn't jump to conclusions, but I think I like the little kids better. It will be interesting to have my advisor come -- I'm curious as to what he's going to say about me. But at the moment, all is quiet -- no major complaints. I have my own office, complete with bathroom, and my closet at my host family is huge. Closet space is very cool to me... that makes me happy.
