Monday Mornings

Most people hate Monday mornings.

I guess I can understand that. You've just come off of (hopefully) an amazing weekend, you have to go back to work or school or both and you probably stayed up late the night before and don't really have a reason to be happy because freedom is an everlasting week away!

I've never really had a grudge against Mondays. Especially now that schools started and I find out what I get to start my week with every Monday morning at 9:30.

My major requires me to have so many practicum hours of working with different populations and I'm got signed up for the elementary school practicum! So that means that I get to sing songs, play games etc with them and without them knowing start working on their problems. Mostly I will be observing them but sometimes I will get to lead activities. We can help them with rhythm, hand-eye coordination, following directions etc. I'm still not sure exactly how everything works.

I'm not sure I'm going to stick with Music Therapy as my major. I'm still learning about it and even though it sounds fun and it is a bunch of things that I like combined, I'm not sure I want to spend my entire life doing it. I'll probably know by the end of this semester because I'm taking an Orientation to Music Therapy class which prety much goes over everything that we will be doing with this major. So in about 7 weeks I'll know for sure if this is what I'm supposed to do.

But no matter what happens, I'm really happy with how I get to spend my Monday mornings. I miss my daycare kids back home and just working with kids in general. These aren't "my" kids per say, but they have just as much energy, smiles and love as mine. So spending an hour with little bundles or joy and energy is a pretty awesome way to start the week.
