When it rains....

June 13, 2007 at 11:23 PM

I have been very blessed over the past couple of days.

A few days ago, I had a look at my finances, trying to see how much I really needed to be earning. Figured that I needed about 9 private half-hour students, with a couple of extra gigs a month.

The very next day, I received a call from a teaching school near by asking if I'd be interested in teaching at their school when their teacher leaves. I said yes, of course. Turns out that I can have two days of teaching there, and possibly a third in a new store they're opening elsewhere. Fantastic!

But then I realised that I couldn't do one of the two days because my uni timetable clashed. No worries, we can rearrange the students if necessary. Not an ideal solution, because some students might not be able to come on a different day.

I e-mailed one of my lecturers, because thankfully one of the two clashing classes is a split class, and I can take that on a different day. The other is an ensemble, which I won't have to do if I take up a different ensemble. He e-mailed back saying that while he couldn't give me a definite answer for two weeks, he thought that those changes could be made. So instead of singing in the chorale, it looks like I'll be put into the opera orchestra (which I wanted to do anyway) and will be able to take over the previous teachers days.

It's amazing how some things seem that they were meant to happen.

I know what you mean, totally.

I hope everything works out.

Congratulations on your good fortune.
At first, I read "finances" as "fiances". Shocked me for a second there. ;)
Yes Linda, I'm actually trying to have as many wives as King Solomon. C'mon ladies, who's next?
