jaalaWe listened to non-operatic music for the first time in opera class today. The pieces were the intro to "One Night in Bangkok" from Chess (hello, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
soubrette!), and "Walk Like an Egyptian". The professor said "One Night..." is his favourite musical example of Exoticism (today's topic of study). Typical... a man obsessed with opera is also a fan of musicals. *g*
The New Testament professor handed out the take-home exam tonight. It's intended to take four or five days to complete and we're expected to do fairly extensive research. Frankly, I would have preferred a regular exam. All the same, he's allowing me to use this week to complete the previous essay (25%) and to finish the take-home (40%) next week. What a sweetheart! If only I'd known that beforehand; I would have studied for the weekly quiz and completed the weekly article summary for opera class last night instead of cramming for what I thought was going to be a 24-hour take-home!
