The fourth semester of my time here at BFA has begun, and with it a few small changes.
I have first period Study Hall once again. I didn’t have study hall last semester, so it’s only a small change from last semester.
HBR (Haus Bad Riedlingen, the boys’ dorm I help in every other week) has a few new guys, one of whom is a violinist! Last Monday I met him and convinced him to join orchestra. It was his second day at BFA, so I hope he wasn’t too overwhelmed! Check out Greg’s blog to see more about HBR.
The High School Orchestra had only 3 kids signed up again, so rather than attempting to wrangle kids in from other classes once or twice a week, I decided to move orchestra to its old slot before school. Unfortunately, this means we only get one day a week (Tuesdays) for 45 minutes (8am-8:45) when kids are rather sleepy. Fortunately, all the kids who come are dedicated enough to meet before school.
Since I don’t have orchestra every day any more, my schedule feels more free. I already feel less stressed about the semester!
