Let the Bells Peal...a piece that is too much fun to ring with a straight face. Dr. Hauer said I did really well on my opera history test. I only hope I got what he was looking for in the big essay question on opera seria and Gluck. And Dr. Beard left some hilarious comments on my homework, and speaking of homework...I have to put some homework on Finale and turn email it to him...hahaha..oops. I also have to put the final touches on this timeline and hope that the color printers at the school have a lot of colored ink tomorrow so I can print and put it in a desirable format. =)
i go draw now. tara!

Between war and literature
Here I am blogging under the covers out of respect for my roommate who can't sleep with a computer screen glowing in a dark room. There is little oxygen under here so every few lines, I will uncover and breathe.
Hauer's test was not that bad. I am glad I wrote down all of the characters for all of the operas, as well as the plots. If I had not done so, I would have been screwed. I think I faired pretty well. I may have gotten a detail wrong about the Florentine Camerata, but I think I was steering my response in the right direction. He also gave us a take home essay, which I will not type. And we could pick one out of two questions, so I have chosen the one discussing opera seria's influences on Gluck, Handel, and Mozart. I plan to use both the Hill and the Grout for this question.
I'm also glad that I did the essays prior to this test. None of those essay questions were asked like that on the test, but the comparisons helped me in my other answers and overall understanding of the material.
And I am now a happily sunburned music student. I was reading my chapters for 18th century out in the beautiful 80 degree weather of February and I decided to lounge in the sun while listening to Carillon, a 40 minute sit. One side of the face is more burned than the other. The nose got it noticeably, but I really plan to sit out in the sun on saturday afternoon after my library time. This means I will be toasted come next week. Tis good for my skin complexion to a point. The UV rays dry out my skin, which removes the oil, preventing the formation of acne...which is a PAIN! Drinking loads of water helps too. I usually burn the first time and the I start tanning, but while you are damaging your skin, remember to moisturize it constantly and you won't wrinkle too bad at age 40. :)

Procrastination and Heart attacks
Procrastination is the devil. I did not get anything done yesterday and it will cost me in the long run of things. And I am also worried about my grade on Hafer's response. Ed is a nice guy, but if I took his classes next fall/spring, I would probably die of a heart attack because I worry about every little thing for his class.
I HATE PROCRASTINATION!!!!
