The New Me (Un-Retired)

Tweet

So, I posted a couple months ago that I was retired, and was sad about it. Took me a few months to get in the groove. I am now happily reporting that I am un-retired. Because I don't like the word "retired"; it sounds like I'm sitting at home doing nothing. 1. I just finished a bunch of translation projects for the Sakurajima volcano museum. 2. I have a bunch of private flute students. 3. I am on the substitute (supply) teacher list for my old school and starting three weeks ago, I have been in classrooms almost every day, working around my flute student times. It's fun to be a supply/substitute teacher in my school, because it's a K-12 (age 5-18 or so) school, and I taught the younger ones. Now I am getting to be with them as high schoolers! They know me and I know them and so there are very few discipline or disrespect problems. The other fun thing is that the teachers of that classroom do the lesson plans! In the older grades, they are self-motivated and really work hard and individually (or in groups) and all I am doing is being the adult in the room. So I'm finally happy with my life again. I will introduce myself as a music teacher (because I am) so I'm comfortable with that. How are you folks at myLot? I hope the last three months of 2022 are being good to you.
