Start back with chorus rehearsals tonight. Leonard Bernstein's "Kaddish" and Mahler's 3rd. Don't think I'm going to be humming the "Kaddish" in the shower. It's a monster of a piece and really odd. And in Yiddish (that's a first for all of us I think).

Having fun at school though. Students are presenting their novel analyses. I haven't laughed so hard at an analysis of Old Man and the Sea ever I don't believe. Some of my students are hilarious. I actually had two different boys who chose OMaS as their novel, so they did their presentations back to back. One was like a stand up comedy routine; the other was serious and insightful. Between the two, they actually taught us all quite a bit.
