We Love You Conrad!

Oh yes we do-ooo we love you Conrad and we'll be true...
It's stuck in my head, already and I haven't even started rehearsals yet...

I am very excited for my upcoming production of "Bye Bye Birdie"- mark your calendars for Nov 18, 19, 20 & 22nd! Casting a show is always such and interesting process. Especially when you don't have any previous bias. Three of my leads actually were my 2nd choice, but I am confident that they will do a great job.

So, I have now been a teacher at Hunter High for 2 weeks. I finally got X-works up and running and I have stopped feeling like I am going to run into old friends. I am getting used to the idea that I am a teacher, not a student. The kids have been great! I was worried that there would be an awkward transition, but they have welcomed me with open arms and laugh at all my mediocre jokes! Yep, life is good. I like that the kids in high school are more self-motivated, have less fears and show a little more maturity. But, I do miss my cute little jr. high students. I am glad I had the opportunity to spend a few years in the jr. high- they were definitley precious to me.

I am also living in a new apartment and we are still getting settled. I really like the place and it only takes me about 20 minutes to get to work. So, life is good.

Still having a hard time being too old to be young and too young to be old. I no longer can go to the YSA wards, so I am debating between the 31+ singles ward or the family ward... where do I fit?
