Well, uh, change in plans.

Found out on Thursday that a paper on a genre is not at all what the professor had in mind. That's what all of the students thought though, so he had to clarify what he was asking for.

Turns out he wanted a paper on a singular song, analyzed in those areas.   Oh..

Well that explains the don't do any research bit, we've already done it by listening to the song. So I'm picking Starless, of course.

In a few months when I've the free time I'll ask you all about life in the prog world. Until then you may not hear much from me, lots of things just got assigned to me.

Take care all.

(You should see the dense and boring stuff I'm reading on the philosophies of scientific progress for one of my other classes.) I wouldn't pick on the group in general if I didn't like it and the people. (I also hopped on the list to learn from the old fogies as I've affectionately labeled you!)
