Fun Friday: Well, Just More of the Same...

Somehow, it is Friday again, and this Friday is the day before payday (so my check will be in my account tomorrow - Whoo-Hoo) and a day of leisure because I do not have anything that I have to do until Sunday at 1pm. I am in an introspective mood, so I will probably work on the laminating things that I want to get finished for my room while thinking, planning, and reviewing my quests for the upcoming school year.

After our trip last week, my family members are trying to recover from the germs and rigors of travel. I am just tired, as far as I can tell, but I did end up with an itchy patch on my neck and shoulder, so I may need to get some cream for that situation. It is also time to start my trip journaling. I might be able to fill up the rest of the pages in that journal, but who knows?

I am a bit scattered in thought and process at the moment. I have lots of excuses, but I really just need to realize that this is what I do during these months. I am looking forward to the even keel of the autumn months which occurs every year once the heat goes away.

For this moment, though, I need to focus on my very next step - the next right thing, to borrow a lyric from Frozen 2. I think my next right thing is to start the lamination process to get my communication board materials ready for putting on my cabinets during our next work day at work. That will take some time, but it will be mostly mindless work, so that is a good task for a scattered brain. I also have some binders to put together again, so that will require more laminating and some hold punching as well. I have two laminators to get going and plenty of laminating pouches, though I will probably need to purchase some more before August. Put it on the list!

Right now, though, I am reveling in a late morning and no need to leave until I want to. I might go see a movie today, but I am not really feeling like it. I can go tomorrow or Sunday. Today, I am going to have some fun sleeping and taking care of myself and my environment.

Time to laminate!!

Dear AMTA

Dear American Music Therapy Association: I am debating long and hard about remaining in this relationship. I have been in this relationship since college, and this is not a decision that I am taking lightly or without great cost.  I am not happy with what you are bringing to this relationship. Now, I have been a selfish partner over the past several years - mainly because I am not feeling like we share a common mission anymore. It is easy for me to place the blame on you, but I know that this is not all on me. I have tried to be invested in communication and support and understanding, but everyone comes to a time where enough is enough. I am trying very hard to decide if the benefits that you provide to me are worth the feelings that I have about where I think you and I are going. I am not sure that our destination is the same anymore, and this makes me sad. To be completely honest, I am only in this relationship these days for the music therapy interns. I don't think that is a hea

Sing A Song Sunday - The Time Change Song (Fall)

It's the time of year where most of us here in the states get to fall back one hour. This is a wonderful time as it gives us a chance to get an extra hour of sleep and to reset our internal clocks to be in sync with the earth's rotation a bit more than we are during the summer. I love this time of year and really dread moving to Daylight Savings in the Spring. Today' song is directed towards choir members and can be found here . There is also a spring version, and I'm sure I'll post a link to that one next year when we [shudder] spring forward yet again... Here is a YouTube video of a guy singing the song. I'm so very sorry for the pitch, but at least he's out there trying his best. Yipes. Anyway, the song itself is based on a hymn composed in 1907 by John Hughes. The words are by Dean McIntyre and were written in 1995. I find the song a bit tongue-in-cheek, but they give me a giggle every time I read them, so enjoy!! Sorry for the lack of diagram

Being An Internship Director: Why I Do Very Little Active Recruitment

Image
I am not someone who participates in every single internship fair or makes ads for my internship program to put on social media. I do not feel an obligation to anyone to fill all of the openings that I have every year. I operate on a "if you build it, they will come" type of viewpoint. I figure that the interns who are meant to be with me will find me. As a result, I do very little active recruitment. I will be part of the AMTAS Virtual Internship Fair this upcoming Sunday. I am not really expecting too many applications coming from this meeting, but I am interested in how it is going to be run. I decided to sign up because I want to see what others are doing and offering out there. So, this Sunday, I will be sitting in front of my computer, listening to what others share about their internships. One of the things that I like about being a National Roster Internship Director is that I have the ability to decide how many interns and when those interns work with me. I occasiona
