I found the song!! but of course! though I really never listened to it, and now that I actually want to IT SKIPS! twice during that one song!!!! damn it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so. my music appreciation class. EASIEST CLASS EVER! seriously, he gives you just about ALL the answers to the test at the review. and in addition to that, he repeats things in class so much you don't really even have to study.
so, a while ago we had our second test of the semester. I made note cards of a few things I thought I might mix up, like three days before the test (cause usually this is what I do to pretend to study the night before a test)so, in my spare moments between class or whatever I would look at them. needless to say, I didn't even study the night before, I already knew everything.
next morning. I went to take the test. just what I thought. simple. literally filling in at least three bubbles in a row before I look back at the test. my favorite section: the composers...
background info: on this test, classical era and romantic era. we had THREE composers for classical (Motzart, Beethoven, Hayden if I remember correctly) the rest were romantic…
so on the test he had the composers listed: fill in A if ROMANTIC, fill in B if NOT ROMANTIC… he even tried to be a little tricky and throw some in the list that were neither (uh oh!! sneaky!!) too bad he told us EACH composer at the review that was neither… not to mention they were weird random composers he never mentioned in class, how, how, HOW, could someone screw that up?
well, say, they were a dumbass and not paying attention and decided to fill in A if the were NOT ROMANTIC and B if they were! yup, that certainly would do it. we'll come back to that later.
fun. so, grades posted… well, I guess I should look at my grade as a formality, right? ok, were is my number… there… WHAT??????? 46???? (OUT OF 66?????????) WTF???
went to class… I am just going to have to look at that score again, it could not possibly be right. WHAT??? IT STILL SAYS 46!!!!! what is 46 divided by 66 anyway?? oh, shit.
so. went to talk to my prof after class.
so, yeah, could I look at my last test? He asked if I remembered what I had gotten. I was, like yes, ummm…. 46.
he's like, oh. well, sure you can look at it. (with a look of: sure, like it will help you…)
so, twenty minutes later he finds it. do you want me to hand correct it?
sure.
he does. yup, 20 wrong. do you want to see it?
yes, I say. I could already see that, yes a bunch ALL WRONG, right in a row. coincidence you might ask?
so, do you want to see the actual test question?
YES!!!!!! (hello???)
so, he got it. yup. one section completely wrong. I point this out. am the only one who sees what is going on here? apparently.
meanwhile, another student comes in… yeah, I set my alarm wrong. here is my paper. prof says: oh, so you missed the review. guy says: yeah, do you think you could give me a brief summary. prof: sure… I’ll look for a review sheet. so, my prof gave him a review sheet and asked him a couple random question. I don’t think this guy answered any. there would be a pause and my prof occasionally looked at me like, do you know? of course I did. Impressionism. (David) Lance.
yup? your checking up on my aren’t you?
anyway. finally. back to the point. when the guy left I was like. seriously, look. all these, right in a row, do we see a pattern emerging? finally, he gets it. oh, I see what your saying, you think you mixed up the letters…. hmmm…. well. I’ve never seen anything like that before. how did you do on the last test?
48 out of 50, yeah. what.
so, finally he’s like, we’ll see how you do on the next test, I think I will probably just give you the points.
