Huzzah for Music!

I joined Spotify a few years ago as a free member.  About one month ago, I was convinced by some friends to pay for a full membership.  After a free month, I have come to appreciate the joy of having offline playlists and the vast music variety.  Therefore, I've decided to sign as a full REAL member!

Amazon music is what I had previously relied on, but their variety was limited.  Despite allowing for offline playlists, they just didn't have the choices I wanted.  Therefore, Spotify wins hands down!
Picture it, summer, Maine, the beach.  Cut scene to me, chilling on the beach, having any music I want and all without having to be fettered by WiFi access.  Win win win.  Now I just need to figure out a sound system for the pontoon boat my family just purchased.  But, that will have to be another post!

Summer is so close I can almost touch it...

This year has been very challenging, as usual.  Teaching is a tough profession with so many rewards and detractors.  On one hand, my time with students can be uplifting and mind bending.  There is never a lull or a dull aspect of my class time.  It can also be painfully annoying.  Altogether it is the only career I can imagine having for my life.
I get out for summer in a little less than two weeks.  The remainder is full of pretty easygoing activities like a dissection and review for final exams.  Dissections are actually pretty easy at this point in my career because I have worked out most of the kinks and routines.  I love dissections!  I even got all giddy fan girl in front of my students this morning as we started in on our first day of incisions.
After all that is said and done, I'll be driving up to Maine for Independence Day.  After that I am jet setting to  London for the Star Wars Celebration!  I am sure I will post more about those later, so I will leave it at that to tease all you readers.
