Its halfway through September! The last post I wrote was July!
2 main reasons:
- uni is hectic – we have 6 weeks out for rounds (I love my school and the first lot of rounds went really well – kids are challenging my classroom management skills and my concepts of engaging curriculum) BUT we still have the same semester workload. AND two subjects are very theoretical, which at the very end of the course seems backwards and frustrating to be writing 2000 word essays. I want to do practical stuff!
- THE dance concert. ‘THE’ because its massive – 190 dancers from preps to year 12!!. As well as teaching and choreographing and sewing and painting props for my two classes, I have been heavily involved in the organisation and running of it this year, making sure each dancer is in the right costume and the right place at the right time (I’m in charge of the backstage movements!).
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE details and precision and the whole thing has been a big learning experience, it just kind of takes over the closer you get to the weekend. (which was last weekend so I’m finally finding time to write this post
) It went so smoothly thanks to all the preparation and contributions from many. I’m so proud of us!
What I keep thinking through all of this is how good it will look on my resume 
and how it will be useful next year – who knows where I will be working and what sort of things I will be doing. At least I can be confident in my crowd control and organisational skills!
