Guitar Lessons???

     Day two of class.  It was a long day today!! I had a four hour class this morning which was Music and Children. In that class we will learn how to incorporate music into a classroom.  I took this class because I know how important it is to have all kinds of education in the classroom.  However, when signing up for this class I didn't know that we were going to have to play guitar and sing!  What a surprise that was.  The assessor said that it is not how well we play or sing, but rather how much we improve and how confident we are.  This means that I am learning how to play guitar this semester!!  We only have ten classes so I do not expect to be very good at the guitar, but I already know 2 chords so I am learning.  I will definitely have to practice though.
      After my Music and Children class I have to got straight to my Outdoor Education lecture.  It was a little bit boring today because we just had to do some organization stuff.  The class is only 50 minutes though so it flew compared to my four hour class.  We talked a little about the trips we will be taking.  The first one will be in week 3 so it is coming up fast.  That will only be a 3 day trip, but it is not far from here.  We will be doing a high wire course, a zip line, and other activities.  Everything is already planned out for us and there will be teachers along.  On the second trip, we will be gone for 4 days.  We do have to travel a bit farther for this one though.  This trip will be planned by the students though.  We will be in smaller groups and have to decide where we are to go and what to see.  Teachers will not be with us, but we will have contact with them via radios.  This final trip is part of our test for the end of the session.  It won't be until week 12 I believe.
       Then I had an hour break before my Outdoor Education tutorial.  This class is just a time to have smaller groups so we can practice skills and ask questions.  We dove right in today and started learning how to read a topographical map and use a compass.  It wasn't hard, but we have a lot to cover before our first trip.
       Finally I am done for the day.  There is a BBQ down at the Unibar so a few of us are going to go down there.  Then there is an event at Tommy's so I am sure we will find ourselves there at some point tonight.  Tomorrow my class has been cancelled already so I will not have anything planned.  Hopefully I can make it to buy some school supplies and books.
