It is an exciting time in New Amsterdam because classes are
back in session! We ended up pushing the start date back because of a holiday
being celebrated on the 5th of January. Starting up again couldn’t
have come at a better time. I’m pretty sure if we had any more time off in a
row Claire, Dan, and I all would have gone crazy. We all read a lot during
break as well as just sat around not really doing much of anything. Thursday
brought us a lot of rain. This was nice because we needed it, but bad because
COFONA meets outside and it flooded our classroom. I ended up squeezing COFONA
into my other brass classroom. Only half of them showed up to class, so we fit.
Last night my guitar class got out early because of a power outage. Yes, we
have a generator, but there seems to be a short in it because when we turned it
on and went to switch the choke off the whole thing died. No one could see
anything, and Claire’s class could not play since they need electricity so we
let them go. The power came on just in time for choir to start in the church,
so that worked out. Today we have our first academy class of the semester as
well as open practice time. It will be interesting to see if we have many
people show up at all or not.
There is not a whole lot new this week, so I will keep it
short. I hope you are all staying safe and warm up there! From what I have
heard the past few days have been rather crazy with the weather. Warm thoughts
and best wishes are being sent your way from my 89 degree day!
