26.8.2013 ~ memorable day out of many memorable days

In the past month or so, I have been slowly breaking the news to my FMA students and their parents... that I will no longer be teaching there after September. All parents took it well. My students had mixed reactions. The younger ones probably didn't understand what was happening (too young) - and therefore, did not react. The older ones were funnier. Today, 10-year-old Z lay down in our principal's room and flailed her arms and legs about, lamenting, "But... whyyyyyy???" We had to laugh at her. Later, she gave me a earful on why I shouldn't leave. Made me feel a little guilty, she did. 

Last week, the mother of three of my private students rung me up to tell me that she wanted to put their music lessons on hold - which leaves me with just one student - the little Korean girl upstairs, whom I baby-sit more than teach. We were even planning to go window-shopping at Gurney Plaza - for girly hair accessories. =S

Well, it looks like this season of teaching music is coming decidedly to an end. I wasn't sure how I felt at first (unlike when I stopped teaching the Brazils at Lucan many years back). But as of today, I think I feel happy and relieved that I'll soon have my afternoons free for writing again. As well as new projects to come. God, You indeed order my steps. 

Well, then... a blessing I had today was the privilege of having dinner with Ben and a friend this evening. He bought us a present too ~ a box of Earl Grey tea to satisfy my posh cravings. 

Did I just own up to being posh? No, I so did not! <3

Oh well. Have a blessed week, people.
