TAN-TAR-A!!!!!

Recently our school got a secure network which means I can no longer do ANYTHING online! While I can no longer play on facebook (sad face), I also can't use the google image feature, look up lesson plans for any music that might be considered naughty to the server (even though it's not) and I can't read my damn CNN.com news stories! I also can't update this lovely piece of non-fiction. It makes my computer painfully slow and I now have to listen to the art teacher complain because just this week he can no longer listen to AOL radio or something close to that.


Other than that work has been slow and rather uneventful. I still only see about 13 students for the entire day. I recently started helping the discipline team by taking pink slips and entering them into student logs so we have files on some of our frequent offenders. It's been a pretty funny job. I love reading the stories that go along with each write up. One teacher went so far as to write out a conversation between some students that involved the word "dildos" and some absolutely horrible sexual references that I'm spare everyone else from having to read.


The most exciting thing right now lately is that I went to the annual Missouri Music Educators Conference at Tan-Tar-A resort. This year I actually stayed on the resort with my friend from Jewell Melissa and you've never seen two more excited girls than when we got our room. A two bedroom suite right off the lake and two minutes away from the main building. In the past years we've stayed some where in Osage Beach which is never close and usually means we have to park a mile away and wait for the shuttle to get to the resort. It wasted lots of time and since we're lucky enough to have our conference at the lake, in January, it's also freezing cold. But this year the conference was great! I literally loved every minute and it was all thanks to having a room on the resort.
