Six weeks in!! All the school
related stuff is actually going really really well right now! In fact, today I have two mid term exams.
Eeek!
Since I have these two exams, I might as well talk about those two
classes. The first one is Contemporary
Mathematics. I've been trying to attend class more regularly, but honestly it
is SO hard. When attendance isn't even part of my grade and I can get just as
much information on the homework website as I can in class, there really isn't
much point. But I try to attend class at least once a week, even if I spend
half the time using wifi on my phone and taking notes only on the important
sections.
Wow. That paragraph makes me sound like an awful student. I promise that
isn't true. I've missed almost no other classes at all, so maybe it balances
out?! :)
The second class that I have a midterm in today is Aural Skills. The exam
is almost entirely comprised of sight singing. We are given melodies that we
have never seen before (usually composed for the class) and must sing them on
sight. I'm actually quite good at this class - its going to be an easy A, I
think!
My other classes are going quite well also. Music History is the only one
I'm a bit behind on, since I haven't gotten my research topic completely ironed
out. Thankfully, the research paper isn't due until Finals week, so that should
be okay too.
I have been sacrificing a bit of my riding time to get in more piano
practice time. It would be nice to have more time for both of them, but that's
okay too, I suppose. Yesterday was my
first time to play in my studio class (private performance for my professor and
fellow students)and that was fun! I
played two Bagatelles by Tcherepnine and got some great feedback on them both.
Still loving this school, y'all. It's a wonderful experience all around.
