Smacked in the head with a 2"x4"!!!

Holy crap.
I'd better write before I lose my chance. I don't have anything of particular importance to share, but feel compelled, considering this little moment may be my only chance for the next 4 or 5 months.....

I think I doubt myself too much sometimes. (Ok, that may be an understatement) I had musicology this morning, and worked myself into a lather of panic and concern.....later, I had PAT 202, which was pretty good, except for the opening inquisition (nobody expected that), and the assignment of 8 PAT projects, many spaced only a week apart. This, in contrast to the 4 projects we had in 201, most of which caused me to crumble into a teary slush with clumps of torn-out hair in my hands...

I have some ideas, and am excited that Santos is going to be grading us a little more holistically, but I can't use those ideas until the second half of the semester because they involve processed audio......I need to come up with some ideas for midi-only projects quickly. I guess, per his desires, I am going to be expanding my horizons and capabilities with midi. The 201 patch project is going to come in really handy here. I need to start getting creative with the sounds I use, and I need to be courageous about stepping away from acoustic music. Now if only those musicals I dreamed were electronic.....

I'm also hungry. But this, too, is just another signal that my life has resumed its frustrating normalcy.
