The wonderful thing about Tiggers, is Tiggers are wonderful things!

Well today has been a pretty good day. I worked until about 6, then went to the nursing home to clog, then Seth and I went out to dinner. We went to Outback. It was really nice :) We don't get to do stuff like that very often. (The most is usually lunch at Subway or something.) But yea it was nice to spend some extra time with him and just get to talk and everything.

One disappointment though, I found out for sure today that Mrs.McClain took the open job at PHS. She's leaving South. :( I know I know I'm not in high school anymore, but it still makes me sad. It makes me sad to know I won't see her at the Christmas concerts and get to go up on stage with her and the choir to sing O Holy Night. It makes me sad that my brothers, one of which will be in South's choir this coming year, will never get the chance to work with her. She's such a wonderful teacher, one of the best I've ever had during my entire school career, not just high school. She really cared about all of us, and always set the bar high and kept moving it up. I'm really honored to have known her for 3 years and to have had the chance to be in her class. She's definitley changed the way I feel about music and singing. It's going to be hard for anyone to fill her position. Nobody will EVER replace her. But I guess we couldn't keep her forever. ;) I hope she makes a difference in as many people's lives at PHS as she did at South. And she will DEFINITLEY be missed! I do hope we can get a good teacher at South next year though. It's going to be hard for them trying to fill that position, when so many kids that know Mrs.McClain might be hurt or bitter about it. But hopefully things will be ok, and South's choir will continue to be the best!

Wow ok my head is really starting to hurt. I think I'm getting a migrane. So yea I'm going to take some Tylenol and go to bed! TTFN!!!
