Feeling it.
I am really feeling tired today, I hope it is not my age catching up with me! I am hoping it is just the busy lifestyle. On Monday night I played basketball at 9:20 so did not get home till after 10:30. We played a great game though, I even scored 2 points, my top score so far is 6 points - all flukes! It has taken me a few weeks to adjust to playing basketball and not netball and remembering things such as I can run with the ball. I felt Monday night was probably my best game so far, am hoping next week is just as good. Then yesterday was T’s b’day so we went out for Thai, it was really tasty. We are now the same age for a month anyway! I was that tired when I left for work today that I forgot half of the stuff that I needed for work. I left without my computer, all the cd’s I had for the kids, my music, I think I was lucky to remember my head! I am finding now that it is interesting the students who are making progress and those that aren’t. It all comes down to practice. I have a flute student who is flying ahead of the rest as she has given up her computer time for flute. She can already play lots of songs, and makes a good sound and is leaving the rest of the group behind. I am thinking I may have to swap some groups around after easter so they are in ability levels and not instrument groups now that everyone has the basics (well nearly everyone has the basics). At first lunch on a Wednesday we have band so we eat together then play for the rest of lunch. I have never understood why kids put their rubbish back in their lunch boxes rather than walking like a metre and putting it in the bin. I would hate to be the one cleaning it out of their bags in the afternoon!
