Helllllllo~
It feels SO good to get back into the swing of a normal semester. Its not that I minded the stagnation of one class for an entire semester, but the ADHD part of my brain had a small party when it realized that it gets to perceive four classes a day again. I am currently taking the second semester of first year music theory: Music theory II. After that I get to run up one flight of stairs (in the same building) to my second class of the day, Art History. Some people asked me why I, as a music major am taking Art History. I've used the following explanations several times.
1. I'm utilizing the liberal arts curriculum here at Luther College and taking a class outside of my major field.
2. I really am interested in Art History.
3. Music is an art. Art History is about the history of art. Therefore I'll be learning about music...
4. I was bored and thought I'd take a history course...
All of the above, of course, are complete lies. Well, not complete lies as much as they are half truths. My main reason is that with a course with two names, you're bound to get two or more graduation requirements fulfilled. As selfish and arrogant as that may be, I will probably end up enjoying it.
After that, all I have left on Monday's, Wednesday's and Fridays are Paideia and Norsemen. I would write a funny story about them, but they're pretty much the same and I need to save my material.
I'm still involved in Jazz band, which rehearses on Tuesdays and Thursdays for an hour and a half. This semester we're working on this impossible song called The First Circle by Pat Metheny. My challenge to you: look it up and try and identify the meter...just try!
Well, my procrastinating personality is finally catching up with the realistic and responsible one. AKA I haven't started a paper that I have due tomorrow already. ACH!
Happy Trails!
