College

As much as I seem to have exhausted the topic of college in the past 6 months, I can't seem to stop talking about it. So. As I was browsing the course catalogs for colleges this morning (because I have nothing better to do with 50 minutes of free time), I discovered that my hands just flip the booklets about halfway open, to the "M" section. Music. Looking at all the classes, I am hardly hyperbolic when I say that I want to take every one of them. There was one at Stanford called, "Music, Mind, and Human Behavior," about the impact of music on human existence, as well as music perception and cognition. How fascinating does that sound? Really. That is basically my life. But basically, my point is that I have this seemingly insatiable thirst for all this knowledge. Clearly, the majority of that thirst is music-related, but some of it is relates to psychology and neuroscience. Not that I'd consider those to be passions--probably because I don't know enough about them--but more that I'm curious about them. What is it with music that makes it so cool to me? And it's the theory of it that I love. Everyone else seems to hear the phrase "music theory" and experience a sort of mental tremolo. For me, it's the opposite--well, unless you consider it to be a mental tremolo of enthusiasm.

I don't know where I want to go to college. I barely know what I want to do. But I do know I love music and am fascinated by the brain/mind. So for now, that's enough.
