  • update.....

    Hey guys,

     

    It's me again, just getting ready to start another year of teaching. I can't believe I'm starting my 2nd year already. Last year flew by, thank the good Lord, but I'm so exicted to get back and change so many things I did last year.  I've been working in my room moving furniture and putting posters back up on the wall. Its so great to know where I put stuff and have an idea of what I want to do with the room. Last year was just a huge adjustment getting used to EVERYTHING. 

    I'm starting grad school at UTA on the same day as my first day of school.  Hard to believe, but I'm so ready to go back to school for myself. I'm getting my masters in music education so one day I can teach college students about how to be a music teacher. 

    My brother is moving to DBU this weekend and he will start his career at DBU. I'm so excited for him because of all of my memories and friends I made at DBU.  I know he's going to love it and I can't wait for him to be so close to me.  I have a feeling a lot of "sister favors" will be needed! haha

    Lots going on the next few weeks with meetings and rehearsals and getting my room ready. I'm doing a "Sounds of the Jungle" theme....I can't wait!

    Until next time, I hope all of you are doing well.

  • The last few days I've done a few fun things....I had to go to Crouch yesterday and have my prinicpal sign a form for my 2nd graders to go to Bass Hall this next year. Then I drove to Burleson to visit with Bridget for a little bit. We had lunch, watched a movie and then went to Bath and Body Works for their Semi-Annual sale. We bought lots of great stuff, you should go check it out.

    Today I went to LA Fitness and signed up for a membership. I felt so grown-up doing so, but it needed to be done. I'm also poor now! We'll see how this all goes!

    I also signed up for cable television the other day. I can't wait for them to get here and set everything up. Now we'll get more than 4 channels...2 of them being in Spanish!

    Not really doing a whole lot else....oh the joys of being off for the summer.  Untill next time.....

  • Long overdue update...

    My name: Jenny Gentry

    My job: music teacher

    Current Occupation: Doing nothing, I mean, doing things I didn't have time for during the school year and loving my job right now!

    Sorry my avid readers, I've been extremely busy the last few months trying to finish my first year of teaching and what a year it has been.  I'm finally able to sit down and go back to blogging, although facebook and myspace have taken more of my time in recent days. 

    Today all I did was clean cause my dad is spending the night here the next few nights because he has some business meetings up here.  I fixed spaghetti, salad, corn, and bread for dinner and it was delicious.  I love having time to do things, but you know what....something that would be wonderful....some one to ask me how my day was even if I did nothing....someone to take the time to talk to me because I spend my whole day at home by myself.  I wish people weren't jealous cause I have a job where I don't have to work 3 months out of the year, but you know what.....the time we have off is well deserved , most people can take a day off here and there and not feel bad about leaving work behind.  A teacher always has work and if we leave our job for a day, our students are the ones that suffer.  This time off called summer is needed! (Sorry, just a rant I needed to get off my chest!)

    All my friends out there, we've got to plan things to do, other wise I'm gonna go CRAZY this summer.  I'm gonna be back and forth to home, so we need to make some plans!

    Hopefully I'll update more often this summer. One more week and then I'm going to camp as a counselor...yeah! Goodnight my friends...love to you all!

  • Hello world....

    I'm finally typing on my very own laptop..I'm not in a computer lab or not on my  roommates computer. It's a new day, a fresh start.  Its late, I can't sleep, cause I want to play on my new toy!

    Okay, moving on...this week is TMEA and I'm so excited.  I have a sub for Thursday and Friday of this week.  I am leaving a video about Beethoven for my students to watch.  I hope that will suffice and keep them entertained, I mean teach them something.  I guess we shall see. I hopefully get to see Danny in San Antonio this weekend.  I can't wait...I miss my brother. 

    I went home this weekend and spent some time with the family. I love going home...its so wonderful. Well, I better get off and head to bed!

    Goodnight Moon....
