I love Saturdays

Saturdays are absolutely wonderful. I can get my apartment cleaned (or not), and I don't have to talk to ANYONE if I don't want to!!! Today i have done... hmm... nothing at all!
i honestly can't wait for this school year to be over because i'm ready for a new one to start. after the summer of course so that i have time to prepare. but you know what i mean!

Last week, during my spring break, i flew to knoxville and visited Crown. it was such an awesome visit. i stayed with my best friend, Yessica, and spent time with other amazing friends-- Taryn, Courtney, Marla, Kelly, Sam, Mary, Caleb, Josh, Mindy, Ruth, Hannah, and others. Some i only got to spend a few minutes with, but it was just wonderful to see them. as much as i miss everyone though, and Pastor Sexton, and just the whole atmosphere, i really dont' miss college. is that a surprise?? haha. those three days was just the dose that i needed of the past and everything that i enjoyed there. but i belong here in miami now with my students. i'm praying that maybe one day -- like in a few years -- i'll go back to Crown for my graduate degree. probably by then the grad school will be more developed.

well i'm blabbing but i'll blab some more... last night my car got hit for the second time in like 3 months. and each time my car was parked in a clearly marked parking space. the first time was just a little scrape to the bumper, but this time, a girl in a red mini-van left a nice dent in the driver side of my car. fortunately it was toward the rear and didn't do any damage to the door. poor girl came knocking on my door at 12:30 AM! i felt bad for her because she felt so bad! it's funny.... all those years i drove thaat big ugly 1992 crown victoria, now i have a somewhat decent car, a 2001 camry LE, and my nice car is the one getting dinked and dented!! oh well, they are going to take care of the damage, so no big deal!

i suppose that's all for now... . i have a busy few weeks coming up but i'm looking forward to them. a recital, competitions, and three concerts coming up... that's enough to stress out any music teacher :). please leave me a comment. i'd love to hear from you :) Iris
