the beginnings of blogging

Well it's official... I'm an adult, with a big girl job, getting my own place, having my own pay check, my own insurance, and my own life outside of school! It feels super crazy and I've decided this epic moment in my life deserves an epic new blog. I must say that I do not know the ins and outs of blogging, but I will get there! Hopefully this blog can be informative not only about my life, but also about the music making process going on in my soon to be classroom! :)

So here is the skinny on what I'm about to do! My job is in Hilton Head, SC at Hilton Head Island Early Childhood Center as the music specialist. The school has 6 pre-k classes and 15 kindergarten classes. I get to see each class once a week for 50 minutes in the afternoon. In the mornings I'll get to spend more time with the classes doing some curriculum enhancement using music as a method for learning other subjects! I honestly feel like I could not have a more perfect job for me! I love that age group, and I am extremely excited!

Now, having a job in that area requires that I find a place to live! So this week I'll be making phone calls and traveling back and forth from Columbia to Hilton Head and back to try and find a nice place. I'm hoping for 2 bedrooms, but we will see what I can find for my limited price range. I definitely see an IKEA trip in my immediate future. Wish me luck! I'm hoping for plenty of visitors once I get moved in! :)
