Exams!, Before your summer hols Options

[S-Majere]

How's everyone's exams going so far - any one you're particularly worried about?

I've not got 'em until the end of May and I'm dreading my Media Law exam.

it's actually not music history class, just a regular "modern world history" class. our teacher likes to incorporate a lot of art/music into our curriculum so instead of just relying on our textbook, we spend a lot of time with various other works: Voltaire's Candide, Mozart's "The Abduction", Kafka's "The Metamorphosis", we also spent a good amount of time with modern art and Lambert's Cambridge Introduction to Art. it was fun and interesting but I guess it does seem more like a art/music history class more than anything.

anyway, to go into a bit more detail, the SF opera has a program that sends speakers to schools to lecture on various subjects pertaining to Das Rheingold. I'm assuming our final is going to be attempting to tie what happened in history during that time to Wagner's opera...intimidating for me, I hope I'll be okay T_T
