It's that time again

The time has come once again. A time of horror, stress, and reflection. Reflection on "Man I should have practiced more!" Or "Geez! Why didn't I do this sooner???" That's right! It's time for finals! Oh joy oh joy. That wonderful time of year when the amount of hours sleeping has suddenly decreased. All kinds of projects are due in what seem to be on the same freaking day! There really is no point to the finals. Either we know it or we don't, no need to test us over it. Have we been working all semester? Then we deserve an A. Have we just been taking up space in class? Then an F or maybe a D. There! Finals benefit no one. It's horrible stress on students, and added work for professors who probably have much better things to do then franticly grade papers that are due about 3 days after the final. Or if you're lucky the same day the final is. So this next week doesn't look too bad. Have 3 finals, but the worst ones are juries. Juries for that stupid instrument the flute! And of course the celebrated juries for sight singing (piano included.) I pray to God to give me the strength to get through my juries. But before that, I pray to God to get me through a two hour lesson on Monday. The joys of music are....hmm.....drawing a blank here. Maybe the joys of music are.....no that's not it....how about..no......Oh yeah! There aren't any!!
