Busy busy

Wednesday's suck for me, full schedule and all.

I ate breakfast alone again, and the worst thing is, they start continental (sucky) breakfast at 9:30 which is way too early. So by the time I got to the cafe, they had no more bacon and I was too late so they weren't putting any more on the serving tray. I was angry.
Calc was fun I guess, arc length in 3 dimensions isn't very different than in 2.
I then proceeded to type 2.25 pages of Music analysis in 2.5 hours. Analyzing Lady Gaga's "Judas" and Madonna's "Like A Prayer" and their respective themes. It was supposed to be 3 pages, but hey. I did my best, and it's only 8% of my total grade for the class. I felt bad though, we we paired up, and judged 10 aspects of our partners essay, and wrote it down. I only noticed a few grammatical issues on the first guy. We were then repaired, (haha) and my group had one extra. One of the girls was really in a bad state.
She told us she was dyslexic, and therefore wrote her entire essay on the Wrong pair of songs. We were given a choice of about 20 pairs. She read one by Lady Gaga, but it was in a different set. So when she found another song by Lady Gaga, she mixed them up. She intended to pick the same set as I did, but instead compared "Born This Way" and "Like A Prayer." We could tell she was near tears, she completely expected an F for the mix up, and was just ready to explode. I didn't say anything when she didn't read my essay, I understood her position and emotions at the time, I wasn't going to press her harder.
Computer Science went smoothly enough, I actually used my computer to take notes, and participated in the discussion as I was able to test theories as I thought them up. I had fun. Don't know if I learned anything though, my grade is still horrific.
A break long enough to eat, and then some Minecraft BS.
Then I DIDN'T oversleep my Music Appreciation class! I got to learn about what a trombone is, what a trumpet is, and what percussion is from very kind volunteers who came in to inform us for the first 45 minutes. I felt very knowledgeable after that. Like I learned a ton. Totally. Like I didn't learn it in 5th grade. Hm.
We then got to learn about vibrato, I can't spell it that well (spellcheck fixed that one) and listened to 4 songs using varying amounts of it. You may see a facebook post about my short exposure to opera, a genre that I could live quite happily without.
Afterwards, I informed the Professor of my absence last week, she told me it was fine. I then told her that I had 9 years of music experience, and she noticed that I was usually the one to speak up when most of the class was unsure of an answer. She then asked if I'd be willing to perform for the class, for 20 extra credit points.
That's a dilemma. I need the points. I hate performing. I have no music. It's just for 3 minutes. The internet has music. I hate performing. My mouth gets dry. My tone sucks when my mouth is dry. I haven't touched my trombone for too long. I haven't been exercising to keep up my breathing. She seemed really excited for me to play. I hate performing. Did I mention that?
So I told her I'd look for music online, and found a 25 measure long clip from Jupiter, a song I know quite well by now. Waiting for the email on her opinion of it. We shall see. My dorm door may be closed for quite a while as I hate practicing, especially when people can hear me. I never practiced. A short warm up is all I ever needed for 8 years. I Hate Practicing. Hate it.
So now I'm teaching Adam how to use my supercool Ti-89 so he can do his Calc 2 like a mining engineer. Should've been a bad-ass Math Major like me.
