A Quick Update

There has been so much that has happened since my last post. I have become super busy teaching, traveling, and preparing for the end of the year. I just got here, and now we are preparing to leave again. We have less than 75 days left in country. Holy Cow. This will give a brief overview of what has happened since my last post, but will have very little detail, sorry. There has been too much time since some of this has happened that I can’t give much detail.

We held a talent show at the last weekend before Easter break. Many students performed on the instruments that they have been learning as well as other instruments they can play. We had a full house for the two-hour show. It was awesome to see how much our students have grown! I took a day to myself and explored Georgetown on my own. I did this last year as well and it was a great way for me to have some personal time and explore new places I have not been able to go to yet. The teachers spent a week in Suriname. For those of you that don’t know Suriname is a Dutch speaking country, and none of the teachers speak Dutch. We did two days with two music workshops each. It was fun to see friends we made last year again, and to make new friends. We spent some time sightseeing, swimming, went to a birthday celebration, celebrated Phagwah, and saw Kung Fu Panda 3 in 3D. The week of Easter Eric was in country. We had lots of meetings as well as some time just to hang out. We were supposed to go visit Kaieteur Falls, but that fell through, multiple times. Long story… We also spent four days in Georgetown. While in Georgetown we saw the newest Divergent series movie. Two movies, in two weeks, in two countries, whoa! Classes have resumed in New Amsterdam. Not teaching for two weeks and then coming back to a full week is rough. Especially when you teach six days a week. We have almost made it to Sunday though!

For those of you who have not heard yet, I have accepted a teaching position with the American Academy for Girls in Kuwait teaching middle school music. This blog will continue while I spend two years there. The web address will be changing, but I will let you all know when that happens.

This is all the time I have to write now, but I will write again soon. I promise!

Peace and love to you all!
