Wow! I just made my "to-do" list and have come to realize how much I actually have to do for the next week. I go back to Oregon on April 27th. I will only be home for a few weeks before tour (by the way, if anyone wants to help financially let me know. I need a little more money for laundry days, tour stops, extra equipment and repairs, plane tickets out to the location and money for living arrangements while there. I am doing all I can to get the extra money, but I think I may need some help)! All this week, I get to study for all my finals, cleaning my room and packing for Oregon, pack for Colorado camp, finish dance portfolio (for class and marticulation), work on the website, and confirm teaching job (I will tell more about it in a minute). This is a very general list (go figure). I basically wrote out every little thing I have to do down to the minute (pathetic I know). In short, I will be a busy girl for a while.
So, I must explain a potential teaching job, but it invovles a longish story (and you can't tell anyone about this Aunt Marie...mom and dad don't know about it yet, and they can't find out for a while) . Back in November, I was offered a teaching job for West Jordan High School Colorguard. I gladly took and started working for them as the movement specialist and the technician (I couldn't be director...I was 19 when I took the job and you have to be 20 not turning 20). Long story short, Joey (the director whom I worked under) and I helped take them to a first place finish at state championships at the beginning of April winning previous 5th place, third place, second place and first place before state championships. In February, I was asked to submit a resume for a permenent teaching and director position at West Jordan High School (director=boss of the colorguard). I was eventually beat out by my good friend and fellow performer Bails (I was told he has slightly more experience than me and I was a second option if he declined the offer). He wants to work with the guard on his own. Meaning, I do not have a teaching job with West Jordan High School, but I may have one with either Lehi or Provo High School! I have interviews next week. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
I am so very excited for Blue Knights camp next weekend. Drum Corp is coming up close meaning I get to do what I love all summer! Finally, I am going somewhere in my performance career!
Guess what? Jamie got a snake that we have affectionatly named chess because of the pattern on her underbelly. She is so gorgeous. She is a dark colored 4 month old cornsnake and she has won my heart enough for me to purchase one of my own and give her a tank buddy! I am planning on getting one next week! I am way excited. Chess is so beautiful and oh-so-curious. She likes to follow my finger and pokes her head out of her bedding every once in a while to view her surroundings! She is so adorable. I get to finally hold her tomorrow (she was feed dinner within the last few hours and is still digesting her meal! She get to be up to five feet long! I was jumping up and down at PetSmart when I saw her and when Jamie wanted to take her home! I know I'm weird, but I have learned to love all animals and never had a reason to be afraid of snakes! I will post a picture of her soon! She is gorgeous!
Okay, time for what little sleep I can get this entrie week. I will write when I can.

Your secret is safe with me! :-) Very cool. A Utah County school will be better for teaching color guard anyway, not so far to travel.
