Thanks for the comment on my video! :) And yes, the song playing is Lemonade by Chris Rice.

Hmmm...I think that you have convinced me to join! Haha. I have wanted to for a while, but just haven't done it yet. I think I am going to do that this weekend. Sorry you haven't been able to get a lot out of MENC. The GMEA (Georgia music educators) chapter of MENC is amazing. The convention was spectacular. We had several big names in choral music come and give lectures and stuff. It was a blast. I learned so much and made some really good contacts. I know I will be doing a lot more this do round than last time, just because I am a senior.

Gosh, it feels like just yesterday I was a little freshmen entering the phenomenon known as college.

Hi Teresa... I sing in a choir too (church) and a soloist... Love it. At least I (we) get to use the talent to glorify God! Important! TAKE CARE !

Aww! Too bad you aren't closer.

I am thinking about signing up for ACDA. I wanted to a while back, but didn't have the money at the time. I am in CMENC and NEA, though. You?

Yeah, I tried singing soprano a couple of times. My voice teacher actually thought I was a soprano for a while because I have such a bright tone, but he changed me to alto this past year. I like singing towards the top of my range, but it just doesn't sound as great as my lower range.

Your student teaching sounds awesome. I would much rather do your school's than mine. We have to climb through so much paperwork just to get into the classroom.

So, are you planning on going to Looking for Ms. Locklear? I just bought my ticket yesterday. I got my best friend hooked on R&L so she is coming with me. Love to see you there!

Oops. My bad. haha! I am not familiar with the schools in Indiana at all. Oh well. Well, I guess we have to be rivals and make cheap jokes about one another...I am a mezzo-soprano! Haha!

Pre-planning is the time before school begins where teachers are required to work for so many days planning for school to begin. Basically I will be going to meetings and doing busy work for the teacher. Then, once the school year actually begins I can start helping teach. Pre-planning falls under the umbrella of student teaching at Berry College.

Our student teaching is kind of complicated. We are required to have "field experience" in each of the three grade sections (elementary, middle and high school). Each field experience coincides with a required class. The first class requires only 15 hours in the classroom. The second requires 30 hours. The last requires 100+ the first semester, then 140+ the second semester. So, naturally, whatever level you want to teach the least, you use for the first field experience. I did not want to teach middle school, so I used it for the least amount. The second class is the middle amount, so I taught elementary. The last is the bulk for which I will be in the high school.

On retrospect, that was probably way more information than you ever wanted to know or read. But that is the basic idea. It is a lot easier than it sounds, trust me.
