Winding down

Yes, the school year is winding down. Actually, I wonder why we call it that? Seems to me it's just getting busier. We've finished one graduation (college) which was really nice, and we have three more before we're done. And 2 weeks after the last graduation, we have a wedding here-my first since I moved here, and my first to play for. Should be interesting, but I'm looking forward to it. One of my piano students will also be playing in the wedding- "Taco Bell's Cannon" as we like to call it. =)

Student quote of the day

This actually happened a few days ago, but I had forgotten about it until now. Nathalie and I were in my office, and with the recital coming up soon, we decided to go to the chapel to practice, since the piano is different there. This year for the first time, we have id cards for students and teachers. The teachers' cards open locked doors, so we often joke about "having the power" or being "powerful." I was saying to Nathalie that I had to get my card before we left so that we could get back in, and I was also joking and saying that I was "powerful," to which she replied, "No, you are NOT powerful. GOD is powerful." Not much you can say to that one.

Well, the piano recital is officially over. I actually enjoyed this one a good bit more than last years' recital (although I enjoyed that one too). This year, all the kids had their songs memorized, so that made life tons easier on them and me. Now, the big things coming up for me are graduations, which really are a lot less stress than anything else-I just have to show up and play, not too much thought required. So, the big stuff for me this year is finished! I can't believe this year has gone by so quickly.
This one's short, I know, but I must go home, get my laundry, and go to the laundromat-we're going to Culebra on Friday, and I need clean clothes! (and hopefully my newly ordered snorkel equipment will arrive soon)
