i heart lydia

i agree with arielle. you have an amazing voice and a gift like that should be shared. so that is a meaningful thing to do with yourslef. also- if one day you realize you arent being fulfilled by singing or you want to do more, guess what? you can! lots of people do multiple things throughout their life that might not even be a little bit related to each other. so dont stress. and i know how hard it is to do well when you are freaking yourself out. especially when you feel like other people might be judging you. i had to teach a lesson in front of 30 college students last semester and pretend they were 8. i was so nervous. i kept skipping over things, i blanked on everyones name (we had been in class with each other for two years), and it was a big mess. it made me feel like a failure as a teacher. so you have to get over the freaking out so you can be as awesome as we all know you are.
speaking of teaching- i started full time teaching this week. which means i teach the whole day and my teacher is just observing/helping me. i was so scared i thought i was going to throw up monday morning! but it has gone really well so far. im really excited! i cant wait to do this next year. although sometimes i feel really overwhelmed by all the stuff i have to keep track of. so its a mixture of stress and excitement this week really. ok- thats about all thats going on down here in chapel hill. love you all =)

  1. i still can't believe you're full time teaching already! (...well, sort of lol). i know what you mean about being freaked out. i only have to teach two lessons this semester and i'm freakin out over it :\ i mean, i've taught before, and i'm not ready to jump off a bridge over it, but even just thinking of it still freaks me out quite a bit. idk why but i worry about being a teacher soo much. do you ever worry about it? like, what if you're bad and stuff like that? :\ ...idk, maybe i'm just crazy
