Storms

We just keep having storms!  What happened to our beautiful spring weather? 

I am looking at the forecast for the weekend—thunderstorms and showers every day.  In fact, all next week as well.  It’s really annoying!

I was woken up during the night by a thunderstorm Sad smile

Tomorrow we are going the Cardinals game.  So much for a pleasant, warm, sunny afternoon.  It will probably rain all afternoon, making the game miserable.

Tomorrow before the game Jen and I are planning to run (just once) around Forest Park (6 miles or so.)  I guess we’ll see if that can happen.  I would love it!  I figured out yesterday if I run slower I can go farther without stopping…I should say, I remembered that.  Easy run equals actually run slowly.

I know the hot weather will be here soon enough.  I’m simply impatient.

Today:  workout with Mike, run, teach for a couple hours, dinner with Chris (my thank you dinner for getting taxes done), girls’ night get-together at a friend’s house.

Tomorrow:  run with Jen, Cardinals game (baseball, for those who are not sports fans)

Sunday:  Easter gig (early), brunch with friends

All of these things would be better with lovely nice warm weather.  Especially Saturday’s events.  But everything would be nicer!  I could wear a lovely spring dress on Easter…(I know, whine, whine, Jesus had it worse on Good Friday, walked uphill both ways to school, etcetera)

Oh well. 

And did I mention after this week there are 4 more weeks left of school teaching?  Just putting that out there. 

Enjoy your weekend, readers!  Hopefully you are less whiny than I am.

Teaching, Weather

From flip flops to snow flurries

On my way to Illinois this morning two things happened.  One:  it started snowing.  Two:  one of those automated signs told me the exit to the bridge to Illinois was closed.  I debated turning around and returning to bed, but luckily the exit wasn’t actually closed…I don’t know if it was about to and I just got lucky or what, but rather than going home I did continue on to work.

Teaching today was fine.  I realized today that at least one of my students has made absolutely no improvement this year.  I feel like I am really trying with this student but they just aren’t getting it (or practicing either…and I guess I’m just not one of those super awesome teachers that has a year’s worth of practice motivation).  But other students are making great progress—so at least I am not failing too many of them!

I put this as my facebook update today:

Yesterday: flip flops. Today: snow flurries.

Unrelated:  I found this article about community service and how musicians relate to their public to be very interesting.

Have a happy Thursday!
