Only hours until winter break begins!! Whoohoo! I played "Soul Sister" for a group of high school students this AM who said I sounded better than Train. Wow, "better than Train!" That will stick with me--they are a critical group these teens and these were students who were not mine, so I believe their compliment was sincere--(no purpose for them to suck up to me...lol). It was a good moment, and I wanted to talk about "Soul Sister" and how many rhetorical tools can be found within the song, or play "Creep" or something for them, but there was no time. I put the guitar down so their teacher could administer their final exam because she had to, assessing what they may have learned for data collection instead of letting them engage in something new. The moment passed much too quickly.
As the folks here at the high school bustle about finishing grades and projects, I can only focus on getting out of here...permanently. I love the students and the performance aspect of teaching, but I'm done counting away hours of my day, and my guitar is growing restless from sitting quiet in the corner.
