Grades!

After German I went to the Musikverein to buy seats for Carmina Burana on the 5th of December. I had mentioned it to Mike, and he said that he wanted to go and gave me some money with which to buy the tickets. On my way out of the center I ran into Jess and she also wanted to go, so she gave me some money as well. When I got to the box office, though, I found out that all that they had left was stuff behind the stage in the organ balcony, so I got three seats there. I figured even if I can't see everything, I'm sure we'll hear well. Anyway, I barely returned in time for my shift at the library, after which I went right to AA&A. I got my midterm back......I got an A! I seriously thought I had done way worse, but I got an honest-to-goodness A! Well, so much for my worries about that class! The lecture was still a bit boring, but not as bad as last week. In Music History I also got my midterm back.....I got an A, which averaged out with my 78% on the listening quiz to give me a B+ in the class so far. I don't think I'll have a problem pushing that up to an A before the semester's over. Anyway, the class itself was OK....for some reason we had storytime with Uncle Morty as he read us this debate between Monteverdi and Artusi....frankly it seemed a bit silly to be spending SO much time on.....but I'm just me......right after class I had to run home and exchange my computer for my organ stuff before heading to Marianum to practice. That went very well.....I had a nice conversation with the cleaning lady (whose name I don't know....) who gave me an orange as I was leaving! (it was sooooo good! and now I won't get the scurvy!) The only bad news of the day was when I dropped my iPod on the bus and now it's basically broken......I think I may have fucked up the hard drive or something....I'm not sure. It shows the directory with the exclamation mark, but at least not the sad iPod screen. (I was at least glad to know that the "sad apple product" idiom to communicate absolute terror has persisted into this century) We'll see how that goes..........but as of now I don't have an iPod, which really sucks.
