Heidy-ho, good neighbor.

Yep, its a happy day for me today. I've conquered my cold, and I'm back to good health. As matthew's blog noted some days back, don't underestimate the importance of your health.

I was at school promptly at 8:10 am this morning to start my morning rounds of music educating and music making with 3rd-5th graders and we're trying to tackle the sticky art of learning to read music. We're initially focusing on grade-appropriate rhythmic patterns, but we'll also be moving into reading pitch. That's a much harder skill to pick up, initially.

I've got Research this evening at NEIU and I'm woefully underprepared, but not for want of trying. I've been reading articles and pouring over my research paper for weeks and it's just not developing as I would like. Tonight we have to present our literature review and mine is wrong. I had a phone meeting with my professor this morning and we slightly changed my topic, and it threw my whole lit review off. Bummer. I guess I'll be able to tackle the changes this weekend.

Good luck adjusting back to the U.S. time, Matthew.
