A New Leaf: August 2010
http://smittyclone.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Accepting me turning over. Friday, August 27, 2010. I used to have a ton of hobbies. Then I started grad school. When I got my degree from Northwestern, it was one of the proudest days of my life. I had, in my hands, a masters degree which I had worked insanely hard for. So hard for, it seems, that people would ask me what I liked to do for fun and I couldn't answer them. Geocaching. Best treasure hunting ever! Belly dancing. My brand new one, and NO, I am not ready to dance for anyone just yet. ...But o...

A New Leaf: Thoughts on 2011
http://smittyclone.blogspot.com/2012/01/thoughts-on-2011.html
Accepting me turning over. Sunday, January 1, 2012. January 1st is the day of reflection for me. I think December 31st is supposed to be the official Reflection Day for most people, but scurrying around running errands and then BARELY losing an epic game of Trivial Pursuit kind of ate up the day for me. So time moves forward, and as usual, I get to stuff late. All in all, I would rate this year in the upper good range (didn't know there was a year-rating spectrum, didja? YMA is an amazing summer music ca...

A New Leaf: September 2010
http://smittyclone.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Accepting me turning over. Friday, September 10, 2010. What I would really like to write here is a long, lengthy complaint about people who seem to be doing their best to ruin me. This, however, won't bode well for me in the near future, so I will have to save this for my own personal journal. In the meantime, here's a picture of a puppy. Exactly how I feel, little buddy.

A New Leaf: December 2009
http://smittyclone.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Accepting me turning over. Sunday, December 13, 2009. While this won't get Student Quote of the Year, it does deserve the title of Fun Conversation I Had with a Student the Other Day:. Me: Bach was the most famous Barouqe period composer. Her: "Bach" sounds like "Spock." WHICH REMINDS ME, have you seen "Star Trek? Me: What - you mean the latest movie? Me: I sure have! I've been a Trekkie for years. Her: That was SUCH a good movie! I love Spock - he's so funny! Me: Maybe you should get vulcan ears. While ...

Accepting me turning over. Sunday, January 8, 2012. I did an amazingly smart thing, and put off my full teaching schedule until next week. Tomorrow a relatively busy day awaits me, but I will still be able to come home, clean, organize, and practice before I drive myself too insane.

That's some serious leveling-up crafty ability. Then I look at a site like THIS,. This also reminds me that I have that little tabletop tree to take down. Eh, I'm on vacation, right?

A New Leaf: March 2010
http://smittyclone.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Accepting me turning over. Tuesday, March 2, 2010. It's really, really often that I have students that claim something is hard. But lately, I find another quote coming consistently from my kiddo's mouths: "That's hard for me. I respond by smiling sweetly and saying something to the effect of, "I know. It's hard for everybody.". Nah Interesting subject, but not enough interest for me. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The apple on the eight. Making my way through the summer season. One brick shy (ish).

A New Leaf: July 2010
http://smittyclone.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Accepting me turning over. Monday, July 12, 2010. There are some pictures of me on the web that are less than flattering. (We can just leave it at that.). This profile pic is definitely not one of them. It was taken by the amazingly talented Wendy Collins, whose website is here. If you are anywhere near the Portland area, getting any kind of photos, from headshots to candid family portraits, is an incredibly good idea. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The apple on the eight.

A New Leaf: January 2010
http://smittyclone.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Accepting me turning over. Sunday, January 31, 2010. Violin piece of the day: Accolaÿ. I've got a student who wants to learn the Accolaÿ concerto in a minor, and I'm more than happy to learn new pieces that my students want to learn. My repertoire growing up, after all, was kind of limited, and it may be a little cruel just to keep them caged inside the pieces I played at their age. But how did my teachers miss this one? Saturday, January 30, 2010. WOW, I am so glad I'm finally on the upswing. Yes, Febru...
