Walked around the block to get next door in terms of selecting an alter ego nickname, but it works all the same.
So I am sitting on campus in the middle of Doctor School, Week 2. I discovered last year that if I wait to make my commute much later than, say, a couple of hours prior to class start time, the Gods of Inconvenience will rain down fender-benders, traffic, detours, blockages, or last-minute venue changes and cause me to be late, so I err on the side of caution and show up to campus hours ahead of time and spend the time reading up on my coursework, finishing assignments, and of course, blogging/Facebooking.
I am less worried about my classes than I was last week, although I still need a textbook for one (thanks, USPS, for the timely notification about how a package is waiting for me at your office OH WAIT JUST KIDDING). One is going to be a challenge because, as I discovered after last week's session, it's a pretty intense course aimed at SpEd teachers. Still relevant to me because, like most music educators, I get all manner of students, but there's definitely some terminology and practices I'll have to Google as I slog through this course.
Over in greener pastures (see what I did there?), things are looking up. As with last year, I'm approaching this year with the goal of continuing ascension, but unlike last year, I now have more to draw upon in terms of experience and training. And of course, it's pretty awesome to have some of the same people for the third year in a row - every school year feels more and more like coming home.
Well, it's been a nice break for my brain, but now it's time to continue feeding the Dr. Esby side of my personality. I might need to bring her back for a YouTube vid in the future...we'll see...
