Midterms!

I'm currently in line to see Schwannensee, and I thought I might as well write a journal entry for yesterday. I got up at about 9:30 and headed over to school to finish/print my papers for Classical Symphony, and study for the midterm at 11. The midterm turned out to be ridiculously easy, which is good, and I studied all the right things. We basically just had to write about these two scores which we'd never seen before...identify the genre, talk about how they exhibit classical style (or not) etc. It was fairly easy....certainly way easier than it could have been. After the test I returned home and took a nap, after which I went to the MQ to check my mail and stuff. I returned home, wrote the long-ass journal entry I posted this morning, and studied. I was up until about 3, at which point I went to bed.

This morning I woke up at around the same time, 9:30, for my 12:00 midterm. I watched the election coverage on CNN for a while, and then I went to school. I took the AA&A midterm, which luckily was ridiculously easy, because otherwise I would not have done very well, I fear. After that midterm I had nary a couple of hours to study for the music history midterm, which was way harder than I expected. Actually, the reason it was hard is because he didn't concentrate on the piddly things that I studied...instead he asked us questions that are more broad that I should know the answer to, such as "what is the history of the motet?" and not, like, "what is a discant clasula?" Anyway, I think I did OK on that. After that I was very tired and sort of drained, but I still decided with resolve that I would see Schwanensee tonight. So here I am!
