thesis? who needs it?

so i just got done reading the 'model paper' my professor posted for us all to read. definitely no thesis in that opening paragraph. i dunno, i could go on about what i thought of it but what good does that do anyone? probably none. i'm not the quitter type, but i think i'm gonna surrender and do the educational thing and just kiss ass more in this class. i clearly wasted a copious amount of time studying the score in the library, doing research, and thinking about my paper way too much. i have a feeling i also wasted quite a bit of time preparing for my presentation, so i'm done doin' that. for the remainder of the semester, every ounce of effort for this class will come straight out of my ass in the form of bull shit. wait, that'd have to come out of a bull's ass wouldn't it. damn. i lose again.

well, what do you want to hear about now? hmm...

oh, i know, you want to hear all about how much ass i kicked in sight singing today. yeah, i got done singing this thing all by myself and the teacher literally stood up from the piano, threw his arms in the air, and cheered. yeah. i rule. oh, and it wasn't because it was the first time i sang something correctly but because i was the first person in 5 groups he had already heard that morning that sang it right. so go me. does that sound braggy? i hope so, because it's supposed to. i'm the f'n man. actually, if i was the f'n man, i would have passed the entrance exam in the first place. whoops.

ok, i've got a rehearsal in half an hour followed by another rehearsal after that with some super famous conductor fella. his name is herbert blomstedt and i think he conducted san francisco at one time. he's supposed to be amazing so i'm looking forward to it. i love brahms 2 as well so it should be fun as long as the strings don't decide to be bishes.

hope all is well with y'all.

love,
james

Why'd you go to bed so early? Screw that damn rehearsal. Now I'm sitting here at 1 am with nothing to do and no one to talk at (I would say "talk with," but we know that I don't really listen to what other people say...so it's definitely a "talk at" type of situation).

I don't want to play poker right now. I don't want to do any laundry now. I don't want to go to bed yet. Boo.

You are awesome for that sight singing thing! I could never sight sing. Of course, I never practiced either. meh.

I also agree with the paper thing. If you are going to get crap from the teacher for actually doing the work, screw that! :)

Pay more attention to your wife, I think she's getting depressed. She might file for divorce. :) Yes, Colin, I'm talking about you. Geez. ha ha ha.
