Serenity Now.... No, seriously, NOW!!!!!!

To say the least, the last couple weeks have probably been some of the worst that I have experienced in my collegiate career in terms of frustrations with school work. Only now, it is a different kind of school work and I honestly loathe being there every day. Never before would I ever imagine myself saying this, but here I go: I would much rather take the Music History final all over again than continue my misery that is student teaching. Sorry if nobody wants to hear this, but at this point, I don't really care. Yet, I try to look at this on the bright side. My goal for student teaching was to figure out whether or not I wanted to be an elementary school music teacher, and now I have a better idea. I guess that I have reached my quarter-life crisis a little early, because I now know that I have very little idea of what it is that I want to do with my life. Here is what I have learned from student teaching so far: 1. I love little kids 2. I still suck at, and will probably always suck at, planning anything. yep, that's it. So what do I do? Here's a notion for the bright future that lies ahead of me: A 22 year-old single babysitter. awesome. I'm sure nobody will have a problem with that. Whatever, we'll see what happens. The 'skers better win on wednesday or I'm gonna really be pissed.
I know all of this makes me seem like a really negative guy, but trust me, it's valid. I guess that I just have to keep praying that the good Lord helps put something in my path that I can be good at and not hate going to every morning when I wake up. But I do still have one semester at Doane left. GOD that will be welcome. Coasting to victory will never feel so sweet.

Oh, and for all of you sweet people, make sure you check out Radiohead's new album, In Rainbows. It is STELLAR.

Cheers,
