Music 101 - EXAM - Thursday 12pm
"Welcome to your last class for Music 101 dudes. You don't have class next week because classes finish on Wednesday. The day, not the student. Today is your EXAM. I hope you brought a pen. In case you didn't, there's some on the table in the corner. Please sit down at one of the desks. Before we start, I've got a few things to say.
Tonight is the Band recital, in here at 6pm. Be sure to stop by and support your fellow music dudes. There will be free punch and pie.
Lane Kim, Lily Evans and Rose Tyler - I never got your 'Your Life As A Movie' projects. Leave them with me today or you'll fail that project.
Okay dudes, here's the exam. Remember - no talking and no cheating. I think you can all do it without cheating. You've got the whole class time to do it, and you can leave once you hand in your paper to me. You can turn over your exam paper and start work."
[OOC: This thread will be open until Monday. If your character does not show by then, they will fail the subject. If you are reading this after Monday and have an RL reason for not showing (and are willing to give your character a *suitable* IC reason for not taking the exam), please contact me and we can arrange a supplementary exam.]

Re: Take the Exam
Cylonhigh school student, one isalwaysgenerally prepared. Sharon had stopped and gotten a twinkie on her way into class. She was pleased to see it was allowed. She also had a pen.Sharon sat down at a desk, and poked at the twinkie she'd picked up. It was... spongey. She took a piece and ate it. The taste wasn't bad, so she took another piece. Then she settled down and began taking the exam, trying not to hum randomly under her breath.
1. da-da-da-dum-dum-da-dee-dee
da-da-da-dum-doo-doo
2. My best friend is inviting the entire school to a party, but I'm still getting her the best present ever.
Male strippersa viperNot that I know what it is. I could be wrong, of course. They could be code explaining that the best way to take over a planet is surprise.You could build a huge birthday cake and hide a bomb in it.
Er, but that's overly violent.
I guess the reason for my answer is that it seems kind of obvious.
3. Strange Days. I watched this the other night, and was... disturbed at the idea of a government so corrupt.
I found the music to be oddly effective, and quite remeniscent of that strung-out feeling that nothing will ever change, everything will remain the same and there's just more drudgery to be had. No hope.
Until the end. And then the Peter Gabriel/Deep Forest track just washed away the previous hopelessness.
It was groovy stuff, all the same. Although, I really didn't like the tracks that, er, that redheaded chick sang. She wasn't very effective, as a performer, and the lyrics just bored me stiff. I suppose I'd call them lame. Totally.
4. Music is... Music is an outlet for the human mind, a way of expressing itself some way other than with thought. I think without this outlet, this basic requirement for living, the world would fall into chaos.
It would probably look something like this, after a while.
Except with more explosions. And possibly, kittens.
5. I have no idea.
Musical. Everyone seems to want to say their name, and sing their praises to the sky.
