Deep Breath

As I might have mentioned before, I had 4 exams this week.  That's insane.

But what's even more insane is that I averaged like a 92 for tests.  So far, anyway.  That's just the multiple choice section.  And, I mean, one of them had no multiple choice section.  So really, what I'm saying here is that out of two and a half tests, I did really good.

And I got 100% on my Principles of Audio test.  So yeah.  It was easy and funny, but still.  100% in about 15 minutes?  I'll take it.

Enough gloating.  Latest on my list of people that suck is my TA for American Heritage.  Basically, he's the worst.  So on my essay, which was really good, by the way, I got docked 20 points.  This was a 50 point essay, people.  That is not standard.

Among his "comments," 90% of which consisted of underlining things in the rubric, he listed, "logical, progressive organization" followed immediately by, "overly predictable."  Where is the line between logical and predictable?  I don't understand that.

But what really ticks me off is the dumb score on grammar.  I lost three points on grammar with absolutely no grammar mistakes, no spelling errors, with sentences of varying length and the use of dashes and semicolons.  The only thing he underlined on it was, "lacks sophistication."

That's the dumbest thing in the world.

Whatever.  In other news, me and the other freshman in the Sound Recording Technology program are trying to get extra time in the studio to get more familiar.  We talked with the head of the department and he set us up with a guy who will be more than willing to oblige us.  So that is looking so good right now.

That's about all that's going on in my life.  Also, music.  I've been listening.  I've been making.  I've been thinking.  Whatever.
I really want an analog synthesizer.  That's all.
(I do realize you don't actually care about my life all the time)
