There is a Love they can never steal away

Nothing super exciting happened today.  I'm currently in the process of relaxing, watching tv, and starting to outline the year for the middle school general music class.  I can't believe it's already August.  Since it is...here is my final countdown for the rest of summer:

6 days-Road trip to Nashville
21 days-Band camp at HHS
30 days-1st day of school

That last countdown makes me excited, sad, and nervous.  I'm excited because I always love the first few days back at school.  I miss my kids and I miss being with my colleagues.  This will be a great year and I'm very excited.  I'm sad because I feel like summer got past me again hah.  I have been in the sun more this summer, but haven't gotten to the beach.  I may be able to get down there for a day...we shall see.  I'm nervous because I'm always nervous for a new year.  It's a new year, new expectations, new choir, new mix of kids in the general music rooms, new everything.  I always set high expectations for myself and hopefully will achieve some of the goals :)

Speaking of the first day of school...I should get going on my outlining for the new year in middle school.  I have a conference tomorrow and am hoping to find some new and helpful tools for the middle school general music classroom.

Top 5 for the day:
1. Successful voice lesson with a new student
2. Not having to wait super long at the doctor's office for a shot
3. Little traffic on the way home
4. "The Bachelorette" finale tonight
5. Coming home to a clean apartment :)
