I've got a paper, so they were going to get the other remaining roommate to do it, but she was sleeping and recovering from turning in her honors thesis, so I thought it would be unnecessarily cruel to make her do it. Anyway, they were going to get bonus points if they got a

P.S. I test-drove the music comps exam today. It was entertaining, given that none of us studied. The last question involved a score example that was probably John Cage (it involved very specific directions, and the score tended to telescope in and out). They asked, "If you had time, how would you analyze this piece, and why?"
I wrote, "I don't think I would. It seems like it would be an exercise in futility."

"I would not analyze this piece, because my specialization is in music, not criminal psychology."

I feel bad for the kids who'll have to answer these questions without any jokes, after four years in the music department. It's so drilled into my head that exam = vehicle for viola jokes.
