Update MAY 2010

I have a real bad habit of not posting...Lately I've been so busy that I haven't had time to keep up my blog. Here I go:

1. I find out this week if I will teach in Cobb County Schools next year. The school system is laying off almost 600 teachers and ALL of the part-time staff members. Our cuts are based on our performance evaluations and seniority. While all of this is going on, I've sent out my resume and interviewed with a school. Don't know the results yet, but the interview went well.

2. A bit of good news, I will be teaching at GPC this summer and in the fall 2010 semester. What I will be teaching I don't know.

3. Recording is going very slow.. that's because Ive been gigging a good bit with various groups, and a couple of solo things.

4. I have decided that regardless if I'm in Cobb schools or not, I will do EVERYTHING I can to build a studio of students and gig/compose as much as possible. I have to be proactive in my life and not wait for someone to do something for me. If I do that, I will not get anywhere fast.

5. We have 8 days of school left...for my college gig, were in finals. It will be good to be done. I'm done for the summer for Cobb on May 25Th. I'm done with GPC this week and start Summer 2010 semester on May 24. The summer semester runs until July 19, the day I report for an extra week of planning at my school (If I'm still at the school). I don't mind the tight schedule...we need the money in the Passmore household. So technically, I'll have 3 days of vacation. Even those days are covered with gigs. Oh well...

That's it for now...Later!
