"My gift is my song...

...and this one's for you."

-Elton John

And you can tell everybody that this is your song. Well, since this blog doesn't serve any real purpose other than me describing in detail random events that happen, and does not contribute to the edification of your well-being, I suppose I shall explore the option of maybe one day attempting to conjure up some thought-provoking, closureless (no, that's not a real word) philosophical ideas. But that is for another day, anyway.

Yesterday, I had a midterm, and today I had a midterm. My midterm in my psychology class yesterday went pretty well, I think. I studied just before class and I felt like I knew a decent amount of the answers. :)

Then I had a midterm in my Baroque, Early Romantic and Classical Music Literature class today. Went to the study session last night. And studied for at least a couple hours today. I reaped the benefits of disengaging from course subject matter and engaging in copious amounts of medium level online sudoku puzzles. Yes.

I mean, I pay some attention to what is being discussed in class, I take notes, I listen every so often. But I just can't learn well from the teaching style, here. There's no order to what is put on the board, and many tangents are discussed that are related to the subject, but not actually important to know when it comes down to it.

I studied for hours with classmates and felt like I knew a whole lot more than I had before (which was no daunting task). I went into the midterm and looked at the page. IT WAS ONE PAGE. ONLY ONE PAGE!

The first portion - listening. Based on what we had learned about countless composers from the Baroque era, we had to decide who might have composed the piece our professor would play through the speakers and offer two reasons why our decision to name that composer is feasible.

I think I probably picked up a few points, there. Ha.

Then it was short answer, definitions and long answer. I just don't know. I studied, I did! But I think I focused on some of the wrong stuff. That's okay, though. It's over now. And I can rest at ease as far as midterms for this week.

But now I have two major papers coming up for my two LEAST favorite classes. Seriously!? UGH.

And I'm enjoying a relaxing night...trying to figure out if I can jump ahead on some homework so I don't have to stress out over the weekend. Alright, enjoy life! :)

peace.
