Thoughts. November. Future. IT'S ALL INTIMIDATING

As I've contemplated my life ahead of me, I've had a hard time deciding what to do.

In my voice lesson today, my voice teacher and I had a serious discussion about what I could do in the future.  I actually walked in while she was talking to my Music Ed director and choir director about another Music Education student.  They were talking about what they thought would be best for her.  I started to think, is High School really what I want to do?  Do I really want to teach choir in a high school setting.  That thought intimidates me.  I don't think I'm ready for anything of that sort.  I don't want to be the young teacher that many high schoolers will push around, so maybe once I graduate, high school might not be for me.  But who knows, it very well could.  I am closer in age right now than I will be when I graduate.  Hopefully that will give me some guidance, but you know, I could start with elementary.  I have no desire to do junior high, but I will if that is the only thing I can get. 

My voice teacher and I also started to talk about what I might want to do in the future... the very near future that is.  Perhaps I want to do NATS.  Perhaps I want to be a performing missionary.  Perhaps I just want to do the church pageant.  Or go to disney and work there.  I DON'T KNOW! 

Right now the future is intimidating.  Is that the way it is for everybody?  I hope so.  I don't want to be the only one :)

Anywho, I also had a hard day in my voice lesson.  I had to think and it started to hurt.  I thought a lot and I was out of breath.  I still feel like I ran a marathon and that was five hours ago... haha :) but I better get started on dinner soon.  So let me just finish up.

I suppose, since it is November, I should start saying the things I am grateful and what I am looking forward to most this month.
1. I am grateful for my friends at school who support and love me.
2. I am grateful for my professors, especially in the music department, who love to help me whenever I need it.
3. I am grateful for my mother, who gave birth to me almost 20 years ago, and who raised me.  I can turn to her whenever I need to.  I call her everyday and love to hear her voice.  I can't wait to see her for thanksgiving.

I AM EXCITED FOR:
-Hot Chocolate
-snow (kinda, just not the cold)
-sweaters
-Apple Cider
-Thanksgiving
-Disney
-Road Trip
-Nights where I can cuddle up in blankets and watch TV or a movie with my roommates
-Love

I am almost done working on my SW video. :D  I am excited and hope you are as well.  I love researching these random disney facts.

Here's one from the video, that is my favorite:
DYKD (Did You Know Disney):
Adrianna Caselotti (the voice of Snow White) was held to a strict contract where she could not be in any movie, play, musical, and anything of that sort ever again, because Walt wanted Snow White's voice to be unique.  But she was a classically trained vocalist.  However, she did have a very small part in The Wizard of Oz.
