Mark Wilson's "Slightly Intolerable" thread.

Well, since #1 was SundanceChile, even before this thread existed. He's number 1.




Number two is DEFINITELY music history exams.
60 tunes, dates, composers and names memorized.
What sucks, is that he's gonna put 10 on.
and then, I have to read through God knows HOW many pages of notes.

I know it'll pay off. But this is slightly intolerable!

Your music prof sounds like a jerk face. Why are you taking a Music History class in the first place?

Mark is a very brave soul who is going to school for music, and most specifically, Bass. So I can only assume that music history is a part of his curriculum.

He's not the only one going to music school.

But with me in for Music Comp, I don't have to take a Music History class. Hence my curiosity about a performance major(You ARE a performance major right Mark?) taking a music history class. Sounds like a Musicology thing.

And yes, Mark is one of the braver souls amongst us. Not quite as brave as SoulGeezer, and at the same time not quite as dense as Maki. A true gentleman in a world of savages. Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

If it makes you feel any better, I distinctly recall numerous people last year getting <40% on that exam . Ask Stefan Cornish about it, I know he got almost perfect on it. He might be going by Stefan Capone now, but your roommate Steve knows him -- dude's playing trombone in the Bluejackets now.

Oh I know Stefan. haha
Steve and I are probably gonna bomb this test. I was up till 5am studying for it, because Rez-Internet was down. Then, I woke up at 8:30 to write a Theory Final. Which I'm pretty sure i aced.

Also, Aaron. I might battle Shannon Gunn at the flagpole. Rumour is she doesn't like Jaco. SHE'S GOING DOWN!!
I shouldn't say that...her Ear is so good, she can hear what I type.

The only reason I'd ever be as cool as that kid is the Duck Tails poster, and the SMB game.
The mullet is pretty cool. It would probably go perfectly with Skel's white leather pants.

But yes. Performance major. What a mistake. I should have been a doctor.
Luckily, I love music. So I don't mind the fact that I have be a performance major or I'll be living in the gutter.
Wait...DAMN!

3) Waking up at 6am with killer stomach pains. Not getting back to sleep, and being told by the doctor that it's either food poisoning, or a Kidney Stone.

I've gotta tough it out unless it gets worse.

WOO.

Music performance majors are so... odd. Yer some tough bastards, though. I couldn't cut it, had to flip to computers.
