Ugh, it's finals week. Why must I have my two important finals on the same day, one after the other? Add to that a research paper on 16th century Italian dance music and an essay comparing/contrasting the tutti works of G. F. Handel and J. S. Bach, not to mention tons of listening to do for both of the important finals (which are tomorrow). To top it all off, I have been reading instead of doing my research, and now I have three days to get the paper done and one to do the essay.
On the positive side of things, I've got an A in Ear Training, probably an A in Music Theory, and probably an A in Public Speaking. Ear Training III is over and done with as of about noon today.
Oh, and we still have the dog. He got neutered today, which should hopefully make it easier to find a home for him. And we really, really need to find a home for him. He's sweet and mellow and all, but I don't want a dog right now, not to mention we're not allowed to have dogs here.
I did get to talk to Tom last night, for about an hour and a half. He seems to be doing pretty well.
I finally got around to bringing up the topic of sex and the things I like and don't like. Specifically, the things that we do that I get little to no physical pleasure from. I finally told him that he's too rough with his fingers and that penetrative sex doesn't really give me any physical pleasure. It's actually vaguely uncomfortable, which I should probably also tell him. It's things like this that make me wish sometimes that we hadn't both been virgins. He says I'm improving at giving head, which is nice to know, but he still refuses to go down on me. That is another thing that bothers me, though I didn't say so in so many words. Maybe I should take Cat's advice and refuse to go down on him until he returns the favor, but I actually enjoy giving him head.
