Another One Bites the Dust...

Another semester down. I'm pretty sure I got an A in Intro to Music Therapy, and there's a solid chance I have one in both my other classes as well, so I'm rather happy about that. So that's another 7 hours down in the 88 I have to do for my degree. (I was taking 9, but had to drop my voice lesson last week on a medical drop thanks to the 2.5 weeks out from the hospital visit. My voice teacher also asked that I study with someone else in the future, and I'm not sure why she decided that, but since we had good rapport, I'm chalking it up to pedagogical issues) Of course, since all of this is undergraduate work, none of it will make one bit of difference to my GPA, but at least I still should have my 4.0 in undergrad work.

Next semester is a month away, and I'll have Abnormal Psych, Practicum, Music Skills, and Music in Therapy II. I'm really looking forward to the Abnormal Psych class, as that stuff fascinates me.

School is weird. There are defined start and end points, and once things are done, you get your tick mark with a grade beside it and you're done with that, in many cases forever. This is not reality by any stretch of the imagination These types of things don't happen in the real world, with jobs and stuff, because everything is based on what you've done before, but you never get done with a particular phase, it just keeps building on what came before. So it's always strange for me to think of the academic world, and though I enjoy it and am rather good at it, I can't see what makes people want to stay in it for their entire lives as it's so segmented.
