No My Name is NOT David Letterman! It's Just Another "Top Ten" List is All...

This in response to Becky's Top Ten Lessons Learned during the spring semester. Mine simply has to cover the entire last year, although perhaps I can later create a Top Ten Lessons Learned during the summer. Thanks for the inspiration, Becky! So with that, I present...

The Hope College Music Major's Top Ten Lessons Learned, first ed.

10. Quiet hours mean nothing. The neighbors only get LOUDER the later the hour becomes until they finally go to sleep from exhaustion.

9. When your tastes in music and your roommate's are like oil and water, headphones are your best friend in the whole world.

8. Don't jump into a swimming pool for Health Dynamics when you just finished gulping down your lunch. (yuck)

7. Trying to do counterpoint at 1 A.M. after a long day is a BAD idea. Yelling at it loudly enough to wake up the Resident Director is a WORSE idea.

6. Vespers is probably the most enjoyable musical event of the year. It is also the biggest test of a musician's stamina, especially when there's a TV recording session where the crew doesn't film the biggest piece of them all and you have to do it over again.

5. Skipping around conducting "Happy Birthday" is a normal, healthy pastime.

4. Don't mess with the Delta Omicron ushers.

3. Burning popcorn at 5 a.m. and setting off the fire alarm will get the whole dormitory screaming for your head on a lead platter.

2. Squatting practice rooms is a way to get yourself killed during juries.

and the Number One lesson learned is...

1. Powder blue chicklet couches next to a humming Pepsi machine are a narcotic and can cause even the toughest musician to nap like a baby for hours.

It ain't easy being green... You were informed about barking ere school finished and alway were known to have knowledge in regards to sprinklers and garf carts.
