Can you have a difference in "muchness" of something insubstantial? (In aliis verbis, does this post add anything to this blog?)

Howdy.

Well, the first exams in biology and physics are done, and now there's just organic chemistry on Monday night. It will take a little practice to "get" this game, I think. It seems that the tricky thing is this: whereas at other (certain) places of learning, the important part is what you understand, the key here seems to be what you don't know how to do... the objective of the testing seems to be not to really get a look at what you can explain, but to trip you up and find one problem you can't do. ---I'm not saying that calculation problems are irrelavent, just that they're a different ballgame. (I also learned today that checking over the grading is a great idea... my score was marked 9 points lower than it should have been! Thankfully, that was cleared up without a problem.)

Okay, that is definitely a sufficient amount of verbage spent on discussing tests. Now on to life...

One delightful thing about my light schoolwork schedule and absence of work-study responsibilities is that am at leisure to practice music nearly every day while the house is empty(sometimes many times a day!) The parrot is delighted at the high noises that come out of my violin, and usually doesn't complain about squeaks and intonation mishaps.

Sometimes he sings along with the piano, too- I've been working on a prelude, a minuet, and a march, all by Bach.

Happy feast of Our Lady of the Rosary!
