Music Monday

So, I've officially started the third week of teaching. I've officially had a real meltdown (along with about 10 little ones). I've officially reconsidered my career choice (for like 5 minutes every other day). Kids are tough, man.
So here's some music to make everyone, especially me, feel a little bit better on an absolutely overwhelming Monday.


Kodaline- "All I Want"

P.S. I really do love my job

as of late...

There's been lots going on in the last couple weeks! I spent most of last week moving from Provo back to my parent's house for a couple of weeks. It's nice to be with my family for a bit, but I definitely miss having my own space!

A couple weeks ago the Twilight Concert Series started up again. It's seriously my favorite thing about summer and this year the lineup is AMAZING. So far I've seen Belle & Sebastian and Blitzen Trapper. Last week was seriously the highlight of my summer... and maybe my life. One of, if not my favorite bands came last Thursday. The National! Let me tell you, it was absolutely amazing. Never have I cried during a concert.

Along with all that excitement. There is one very important, wonderful, exciting thing that happened to me last week....

I got hired as a 5th grade teacher for the upcoming school year! Finally! After all those interviews and applications I had all but given up. I start in a couple weeks so its been a bit overwhelming trying to prepare, but I am so excited! I'll be starting my career and moving to Salt Lake in a couple weeks. There will be big changes, but I'm looking forward to the next chapter of my life.

Music Monday

So, technically it's Tuesday since it's 12:23 a.m. But it doesn't count if I haven't gone to bed yet, so it's still Monday. Anyway, some music that I've been listening to a lot this week is the lovely tunes of Gregory Alan Isakov. He's just a lovely lad, with a lovely voice. It's definitely some really chill music, and a little more on the folk side... but it's the kind that touches your soul a little bit. He is also coming to the SLC in September! So there's a lovely concert that I look forward to.

Enjoy :)

Music Monday

So, I listen to really good music. And I love sharing music too. So, I'm going to share some of my favorite bands and songs every once in a while. It may be a new discovery or an old love. Whatever it is, it'll be good.

One band that I discovered a bit ago and developed an obsession with is Daughter. Seriously amazing. The singer, Elena Tonra, is not only insanely talented, but she is seriously the most adorable thing on the planet. I was able to see Daughter in concert a month or two ago and it was absolutely phenomenal. Their music has this haunting feel to it, along with wonderful lyrics. You just have to listen.
Enjoy.

it speaks to me.

"...But I sold you for a cigarette

does that make you wanna love me less?

And if I don't believe,

What does that mean?

And when I die alone,

Who will eat my soul?"
