| Music: 102.1 (radio) Subject: labor day and a question |
|
| today was great! woke up, pissed of my parents by wanting them to drive me to ali's house asap, and finally got myself over there. we hung out, talked about tons of stuff, danced, and made/ate these awesome pasta things!! i forget what they're called now, but they're sooo yummy! yay for potatoe-ish pasta and pesto!! soon got tired of staying in one place. showed up at my place (after pissing off ali's parents begging for a ride) and decided to swim. had a good time in the pool. (wow, didn't mean it that way!) played with a hose (in a very UNsexual way) and read AIM conversations. talked some more. very amusing. swam in the pool...did some water jogging (yay for excersise!) and ate loads of yummy labor day food. this included steak, killer mashed potatoes, corn, and watermellon. o and fought our way out of a near attack from the hose and from the bees and flies. nearly had ourselves in serious danger!! luckully, our heroic skills prevailed and we were able to escape. o, and we 'bronzer-ed". sorry for all of you un-french people who can't understand that. sucks to be you!! :-p ~*~*~*~ and now for my question. "Listening to classical music while doing homework/studying. Do, or don't?" pro's: *keeps you (somewhat) concentrated *keeps your mind working and active *it's damn good music! con's: *causes me to lose concentration and close my eyes to take in the music *keeps my mind active thinking about the MUSIC, not necessarily the schoolwork *it's damn good music! any thoughts? |

iwish2bemilkywhite | 09-02-03 12:34am do. or don't. either one. i personally like to listen to it while i'm doing my homework and then listen to it again afterwards, so i can get a full grip on the music. never listen to opera while you're doing you homework, though. voices are distracting. so save the opera for a time when you have the full ability to breathe it and truly appreciate it.

musicalbabe | Re:, 09-03-03 12:27am yes, classical music IS beautiful. and to think...i could marry someone who is ALREADY a talented enough composer to be on 102.1 frequently. o and that leads to another clarification. i'm listening to the radio, not a cd, so i can't just listen to it over. that's also a benefit, though, because then it's always different and just a mumble jumble of different styles/tempos/composers/intstruments. so maybe i can just listen to 15 mins extra once i'm done w/ the hw?? |
krazystar13 | classical music..., 09-02-03 11:38pm hey...so what if you don't liek classical music? what if you want to listen to something else? i like rock and country...(the atari's and the dixie chicks) so could i listen to those? why didn't you investigate those types of things? that makes me sad...you shoudl investigate courk (countryrock) and see the answers, then tell me, so i'll know if it's ok for me to listen to music while i do my homework!

musicalbabe | Re: classical music..., 09-03-03 12:24am i wrote about classical music because it is a known fact that people who are tested (like, say, for an SAT) do better if they are tested while listening to classical music. i wasn't necessarily chosing classical music over other types because i just like classical music. as for other music types, i think i agree with nicole. unless you're really familiar with the CD and don't think about the lyrics, the voices DO keep you from total concentration. the reason i asked, though, is because just the fact that IT IS classical music is enough for me to just want to listen. does that make sense? i hope so. i really wasn't trying to be against all other forms of music. i mean, i have tons of CD's and only one of them is remotely classical.
