Vintage

If you're a bird, I'm a bird.

I love The Notebook, as should everyone.  I just finished watching it with Meg and Amanda-Grace.  I am now sitting on my floor thinking about how I have to read a chapter in Vocal Pedagogy and do the questions at the end of the chapter, but I just have no motivation.  I was talking to some friends about what classes we put forth the most effort, and we came to a general consensus that it was for classes where we respected our teachers -- ones where we could tell that they put forth effort in their lessons and thought about ways to best help everyone. Sadly, Vocal Ped is just not one of those classes.  I have very little interest in the subject to start with, but then having an unorganized structure doesn't help either.  We only meet once a week, and those days, we just talk about the chapter that we read from our $93 "textbook" which is a 200 page soft cover book.  We answer nonsense questions at the end of chapters that basically prove that we read (or can pick out bold words).

I'm thinking that if I could do anything right now, I'd be reading Mark Driscoll's Vintage Jesus.  It's been a really great book so far.  While so far, I've know basically everything he's written about, I like his outlook.  Mark puts subjects and ideas that would typically see mundane and make them interesting and exciting.  I definitely would recommend this book even though I've only finished chapter 3.  Too bad I can't use that as an excuse... "Sorry, James.  I was reading about Jesus so I didn't do my homework."

haha.

I would probably get kicked out of the music department... or at least get a 0% on that homework.

Sad.
