I'm following up like I promised I would.

I'm really really really sorry. It's been two months since I promised you notes from a dumb class. But I am here again, posting. :D (and the crowd of 3 followers rejoiced.)

Music Major Success. August 31, 2010.
1. Go to class
(are you kidding me?)
2. Get your work done.
3. Limit your work hours to 15 hours a week or less.
(vegetables?) (he talks about numbers a lot.)


I don't remember where the vegetables came from, but he
definitely brought them up.

  • An outlier is something that exists outside of the ordinary or statistical norm.
  • Cumulative advantage.
  • Achievement = talent + preparation
  • Practice, practice, practice! Goal: 10,000 hours. Work hard.
  • Take advantage of opportunities.
Okay. Now I'd like to point out that to get 10,000 hours, I'd have to practice like, 3 or 4 hours a day for the
next 10 years. As a vocalist, this is not healthy. If I did this, my voice would disintegrate. Which is bad. So
this is not the best idea ever. I think I'll stick with my hour a day routine. Until I develop chords of steel.

I'll post more soon. I've got quite a bit, since the class is pretty much over now.

Oh, by the way, I'm going to see Iron & Wine on Saturday in New Orleans. I'm
tremendously excited.
Also, college rocks. I'm totally digging this. I just wish I had a kitchen.
