Bull Phooey!

I just finished my Music History II final about a half hour ago. That's the last thing of the week that I'm worried about. My jury is this afternoon and I'm not even worried about that. The final I took wasn't as bad as it could have been. There was the dreaded listening section, which I did ok on, the multiple choice section that I did ok on, then there was the short answer/quasi essay section. That part kicked my ass.

That essay section actually taught me something. There are 2 types of bull shit that I know of. The first kind is the kind of bullshit that is fun. That's random bullshit. It's easy to come up with random stuff to spew out, preferably not on exams, but we can all make up stuff (be it true or not) about why some composer wrote this piece and what it means. It's great to be able to bullshit a page about random useless stuff. Kind of like what I'm doing now.

Then there's the second kind of bullshit. The one that I suck at. I call that educated bullshit. It's hard for me to write down bullshit and make it sound like I know what I'm talking about. Hell, even if i do know what I'm talking about, it still doesn't sound like educated bullshit. Needless to say, I didn't use educated bullshit on the test. Oh well.
