Abandon Ship

Cutter's Log - Supplemental

I've decided to abandon the listening response paper. I can't comprehend that kind of information on such short time span. I can still remain at a C if I pass the two remanining tests with a B- or better, and do well on the Concert paper. So I'm starting the concert paper immediately in order to get a good start on it.

Music is not my thing, especially when it's classical music that I really do not give a rat's behind about. Haydn's 39th Symphony was the closest piece that interested me out of the selections. I know it's a good-mood piece, but other than that I am drawing blanks all over. I can't tell you what the meter is, what instruments are playing (there are many different "string" instruments and I can't tell the difference between a violin and a cello) and what the beats and pitches are. Yes, I learned nothing from this course. I didn't the first time, and I didn't this time.

Don't get me wrong, I like classical music. I like hearing it. I do not like comprehending it and breaking it down into what is what. It's like eating things without tasting them. I do not understand the concept of "tasting" a cookie. I can eat a cookie, but not taste it. That's the relationship between me and classical music.

G2G - I'm late for a class I don't want to go to.
