Music Appreciation Students

Just got out of Music Appreciation about half an hour ago. I touched on this in a previous post, but I need to vent.

We were listening to music today, and a group of about 3-4 guys behind me were finding it difficult to make a joke about every little thing that happened.

For instance, one of the pieces we listened to was "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." Quite obvious the way they decided to amuse themselves here. We also discussed homogenic musical structure - everytime out professor mentioned the word, it was the funniest thing they had ever heard. Is it so hard at this stage in life to mature to a point where even if you find something amusing, you can keep quite while the rest of us pay attention and learn?

I honestly hope that the fraternity they are in (judging by their hats) has a party that gets them all expelled. I have a feeling they won't finish anyhow.

Out.

I plan on attending my first meeting this coming Wednesday.
And, enforced by your response, I intend to have no idea how to keep up with the majority of attendees.
But, it should at least be enjoyable....*shrug*

Ravenna - I assume you meant to post this on my club blog - dunno how to move it - oh well.

Look forward to seeing you (and any female students) at the meeting, considering the topic of tomorrow's discussion.

I look more forward to the topic tomorrow than the one from last week - it seems a bit simpler to me. I am aware, however, that this group can turn anything into a complex argument.

Cheers!
