Well as some of you know, I was delayed in knowing where I would be student teaching this semester. I was supposed to have known by November at the latest, but I didn’t get placed until Thursday…of this week. That’s right, I wasn’t notified of my placement until Thursday night and I start the training seminar on Monday. As of Thursday night, two other music interns weren’t placed yet. I feel very blessed to have a placement at all, however, I was placed in Montgomery, AL (my old hometown) 3 hours away from Leroy and our home. My parents have been gracious enough to let me move back in with them, but as you know, once you leave home for good, it’s hard to go back. God must have a plan somewhere in this madness, but it is very hard to see the positives in living away from my husband for four months.
