I've tried posting twice in the last three days. Neither of those times really happened.
Anyway, I'm doing pretty well these days. I mean, other than the fact that I have a three to five page argument paper rough draft due in three days, an exam that same day, two concerts coming up (band/orchestra on the 20th, and choir on the 27th--both Fridays), and a pretty good size project due in three weeks that really needs to be started as soon as possible...other than that, I'm doing great. Really, those things don't get me down. I mean, that's just a part of the life God has me living. No need to get freaked out about it. At the end of it I'll be in Heaven no matter what happens. So, I might as well live like it.
Granted, I probably need to get myself a little more motivated in all these projects that I have. It's not that I am drudging the projects. I'm actually very excited about them for the most part. That's the nice thing about college, you get to work on the things you love doing and study the things your interested in. Even in classes like speech and writing you can turn the focus of your projects toward things that your interested in.
The class I'm not looking forward to is social studies. History: I just don't get it. I'm not good at the 'names & dates' game, and I have no idea what the social-economic implications of the Soviet revolt were. (and, no, I don't know what the Soviet revolt was, or if there ever was one)
Yeah, I know, some of you are thinking 'this kid is in poor shape'. Pretty much. Like I said, I'm not looking forward to it.
I am, however, looking forward to music history. The cool thing is music history actually takes the place of the the usual world history class taught at my school. After writing my research paper on music in the church I am quite excited about music history. That class should be able to give me a better idea of the development of music in the church, and how it affected and was affected by the culture around it. Oh yes, it should be very interesting.
