No Singing During Driver's Ed

So, this week I finally began my traditional summer job of teaching driver's education at Provo High School. You know when you haven't done something in a while like, riding a bicycle, swimming, or playing the piano? It always takes you a couple of tries to get it right. Well, teaching driver's ed. was like that, only they seemed to come later. The section I am currently teaching is called the range. The first day I am in the car with the students and we go to each maneuver and I instruct them in the proper steps to complete the skill. Then, for the rest of the week I sit up in the booth and I correct them using a microphone connected to the radio. The unfortunate part of the situation is the microphone does not turn off very easily. You know me if I here a song I know I sing along, I am not one for huge public audiences so there has been no singing during the range. My absentmindedness generally comes quickly and I can remedy the situation without anyone ever noticing. Well, this week I was a little blonde. First, on Wednesday one the cars wouldn't start so I had to use my tough-girl skills and jump it. Then, on Friday I had known one of the cars needed gas, but just forgot so it almost was on empty. So, I had to go get a new car from the other side of campus at which time the car that died on Wednesday, died again. I am certainly getting good at jumping cars! Tomorrow I am off to the range again!
