hi. it's me. i'm just here procrastinating for a few minutes. actually, i'm not really procrastinating. i'm studying intensely. see, i'm listening to music. i created a play list that i'm supposed to know all of for the test that's in 5.5 hours. it is 102 tracks long, totalling 500 minutes. i probably shouldn't even say this, but i'm at 132 minutes right now. i would say it's not fair that i have this at the same time as a regular music history test that we had to do the same thing for (which i did awesome on that test this morning, btw) but i should have been studying this stuff more intensely earlier. gosh. i'm listening to papillions, opus 2, by schumann. it will probably be on the test and i will have no idea what it is. spring break. come to me quickly. come to my arms oh beautiful one.

Hang in there, buddy. You're doing good. Spring breaks are mighty nice. Wish I had another vacation coming up myself.
papa
by the time you read this you will be done and on spring break... what a wonderful feeling that will be! i'd like to hope that if you survived your horrid week, i too shall survive mine, but that yet remains to be seen. soak up some sunshine for me please .
Excuse my ignoramus self, but how exactly do you have a test over papillions, opus 2, by schumann?
Prof.: "Jordan, what is the 74th note going backwards?"
Jordan: "Oh my dearest one, that's a G double sharp!"
Prof.: "In what line does the flute start it's seventh solo?"
Jordan: "In the 875th line, oh best beloved one."
*its, not it's
basically yes. we hear a brief exerpt from the piece and look at a page or two of the score, and then we must identify the composer, title of the piece, opus number (or Deutsch number for schubert for example) and describe and analyze various modulations, melodies, themes, etc. and just for your enlightenment, oh dearly beloved, papillons (butterflies) is entirely played on the piano. no flute solos in a keyboard lit class.
thanks for the hangin' in there words guys! i'm done, and about to leave on a fantabulous vacation with no sleep.
Well, if you wanted to be a snot you could identify the "Deutsch" number in English....
for example, Schubert's Papillions would be German ____ (cause "Deutsch" is German for...German. Haha).
So, how'd it all go? I didn't get a chance to talk to you before we all dispersed!
So you answered questions on a piano peice named after butterflies. And you're in college. And you somehow mistakenly think that you have a life. And this is your heart's desire.
I'll be praying for you, oh most dearly best beloved.
i shall be back to writing in a day or two. currently in houston. don't want to keep the good people up with my typing. ahem. yes, deutsch does mean "german" in that same most wonderful language. it also happens to be the last name of one "otto deutsch" who in fact catalogued all of schubert's works. things are wonderful. we'll catch up on sunday. or monday.
and no, dearly beloved, i do not have a life. i have what we call "class" and "homework" and "south padre isl..." never mind.
hi steffen sup
