TESTING.... TESTING.... *tap* *tap* *tap*

Ever have one of those days where crazy situations keep flying out of nowhere at you? I found out I missed a lesson, did poorly on an orchestration test. Aced a Philosophy quiz, argued with Dr Mathews, Saw some footage of a video collaboration. It's like the universe is trying hard to balance all my luck and success with the occasional failure to remind me that I am human.

Orchestration:
Today was my first orchestration test. By any measure, I am by far the best orchestrator in my class. (Borissa doesn't count he is almost 30... and Foreign!) I know all the material inside and out. Why then did I freak out and do poorly (I suspect) on my test? UNCLEAR INSTRUCTIONS!
I think very differently than most people, therefore, for me to do what they want, they have to be fairly specific. Why is it so hard for teachers to put things on the test that they cover in class? Am I the kind of person who will go and talk to a teacher about this type of thing? YES! Is that a smart thing to do? I will find out. I got 19 /20 on the first orchestration assignment.

Philosphy:
I got my 2nd philosophy paper back today. 98% I picked up Dave's assignment. Not looking is going to kill me!!! Just to make up for me messing up a test in Orchestration. How could he have beaten me?

FilmColaboration:
I saw some footage of Mike's film today. I must say I was very impressed! So much good stuff in that guys brain! The intro sequence is incredible! It has sexual themes. VERY sexual. But I'm sure my jury can man up and look at the boobies ... aren't they supposed to be artists themselves?

Man.. I am going to work on my orchestra piece tonight. IT HAS TO BE GOOD DAMNIT! Just a few more months of this. Just keep pushing... I'm almost home free!!!
