Today was my last day teaching two after school drama classes. This whole session felt a little funky - with kids signing up late, not showing up on a regular basis - I just could not get any consistency. So with the final session there usually is a little presentation with the parents watching, but that just didn't happen today. Most of the kids didn't know today was the last class and only one parent showed up (late) in the older group and I believe a grandmother and a younger sister showed up in the younger group.
The older girls did well. They have tons of potential and I would love to continue to work with them. But since I really don't have the expertise to tame the younger ones and I will most likely be gone by the middle of February, I will not be teaching them again. I have to say that once a week is hard. You get on a groove and then you need to wait 7 days to pick it up again.
The younger ones were all touchy feely but they have such problems with attention and focus that there's very little I can get done. I do like their hugs, but it's so frustrating when they all talk at once.
I am torn between arts administration and teaching. I really like both. I sent in 2 job applications today - for part-time work, which would allow me to work on Namaste Gourmet.
Fingers crossed that one of them comes through, that I start picking up some clients and that the transition is smooth.
