Hello, Sunshine

It's another beautiful, sunny day. And I'm already done with classes! This is good stuff. And if it's beautiful tomorrow too, my afternoon classes will be outside, because they're both Tai Chi. Tai Chi was outside yesterday. And right after that I took my Bio midterm outside. I was kind of screwed, but I didn't give a shit because I was outside and it was sunny and warm. And I did get to answer all the questions. I even made an honest attempt at the " In lecture we talked about several ways to determine a genetic basis for behavior. Name them all" question. I had gone to that lecture, but I still couldn't completely answer that question. Grr. But, I felt better after this exam than after the last one, which had fucked me up for the rest of the day. And that's good, because I had a Logic problem set due today which I hadn't started at all before my midterm, because I spent all day Sunday studying and some of Monday studying and the rest of the time until the test Monday not worrying. Or trying not to. So I had another late night because of that problem set. I think I shall start the next one earlier. Like at least a week in advance, or something. This is my intention, at least. I didn't go to Logic lecture today. That's because I was still in NW Portland when class was starting. And what was I doing in NW Portland? Watching a small, informal concert by the Emerson Quartet with my String Quartet class. It was awesome. We got there really early, because we left campus when our class started, which was 10:30, and the concert started around 12. We went to Starbucks to get some sort of refreshment and then went back to the store where the concert was. We sat in the front row, where the seating consisted of couches. That's how quartet concerts should be. Small, intimate, with comfortable seating. The quartet was there for a signing after they played, and it was then that I talked to the cellist a bit, who said that if he were going to build a concert hall, he would put couches in it. It was overall really cool. I'm just appalled and saddened by some of the kinds of people who are classical music fans. The ones who have the "I'm an upper-class snob, or an aspring upper-class snob, and I'm so highbrow because I listen to classical music except that I don't actually know anything about it and I just listen to classical so that I can impress people" sort of attitude. There were two of them talking in the line ahead of me when I was waiting to buy a CD. The whole time I was in line listening to them, I wanted to vomit. But then I came back to school and sat outside before going to turn in my Logic problem set. And now I am going to go sit in a patch of sun and read.
