Church and Journals

I received an e-mail back from the one church giving me feedback.  It was great and was something I can think about (one thing was brought up- and it was something I was already aware of).  Plus, the other finalist had more experience.

I also received an e-mail from the interim music director from the other church.  She said she wanted to let me know that I was going to receive an offer from them.  She said she was very impressed with my conducting ability and musicianship.  She wanted to notify me personally as sometimes the process is a little slow.  Even though this church is a longer drive, there are a lot of great things about the congregation, the way the music program is set up, and the flexibility I have.  I think the church is really hoping for energy and ideas.  Well, that's what I have!  I have already created a list of questions and started a list of ideas to implement.  I will have to do it slowly.  But I think this could be the start of something great.

So that's good news.

Other good news- I heard back from the woman who is co-editing the Choral Journal in the fall.  She read my thesis, wants to use a part of it, but I need to rewrite my thesis since they can't publish what's already been published.  So, when I am done with this entry, I need to rewrite my thesis.  Okay, so I probably won't get it all rewritten today, but I will work on it.  That's my goal in the next week.  

Now, if only Facebook will stop distracting me...
