Yesterday! Life was good, rainy, wet, and full of music and happy.
Today! I had HUMA 101, study of literature from ancient Greek to medieval Islam (YAAY), and the prof is a deinite dork but he knows what he's doing. There is a lot of reading in that class and I have yet to get the book. But I will, soon. After that was Aural Skills I, my section of which is taught by a grad student, but he just gave out the syllabus and dismissed us, so I looked for where to sign up for a time for secondary piano. The dean (who apparently teaches secondary piano) is out of town because of a death in the family, so no go for that yet. So I sat around and waited for theory. Theory. Yes. Haha.
I thought I wanted to place out of the class, but then I took it. Haha. Dr. Lavenda is a no-boundaries man. He is like Avalon, except with more social skills, and funny. First semester is concentrating on pitch, rhythm and timbre. Harmony, which is what the AP test was over, doesn't even come till next year, and I have no idea what he's going to teach about pitch, rhythm and timbre that I should know. First thing he did was play us a tambourine piece and make us tell him about it, and then we tried to define music, which led to defining theory, which led to defining Theories, and it was all really cool. I am not dropping that class.
So after theory was "lunch," during which hour I took the aural skills placement test (melodic and harmonic intervals, melodic two-part dictation, harmonic dictation in figured bass) and got an email when I got here this afternoon, saying I passed. So I dropped it and am now in the process of figuring out how to get permission to add a linguistics class during that time which makes my class-hour-count exceed 20, which is apparently a lot.
After that test I went to Sewell and had the intro Latin class, for which I need the book still. The teacher even admits her pronunciation is horrible, but I learned something I didn't know about Roman pronunciation, so I'll bear with her and then run to Mr. White for solace (if I can find him).
I am in my two-hour dead period before classes are over for the day, and I need to figure out how to buy my books. Next is Chorale, where I will see my mother, who knows how to get money out of the bank.
Tomorrow I have a mere two classes. And I have to get permission to add more. What is the world coming to, when you can have two days out of the school week with only Alexander Technique and a small vocal ensemble and be called a full-time student?
