No more questions? Really?

My students are apparently remarkably calm about this exam I'm giving tomorrow. I've had a big chunk of office hours this morning, but not a soul showed up to ask me anything. Even in class yesterday, one section got out a few minutes early because nobody had anything else to ask. (And I had to resort to torture to draw out the question before that: I started singing until a student asked something to shut me up.) I know there's not a whole lot of new material on this test, but some of it's pretty tricky. I'm surprised.

I guess that means I don't need to worry too much about difficulty level, eh? :)

I loved your parody!!!

When my sister was in Les Mis and I saw the original for the first time, I couldn't help but singing the parody quietly to myself and later I dug through the boxes of my college papers stored in Andrew's closet to find the complete set of lyrics from when we all sang it!

Thank you! I'm proud(?) to have warped your perception of the original. :) (Mind you, the complete lack of preparation or practice before we recorded it meant that our performance was, well, imperfect. But it was still a lot of fun.)

This reminds me of my experience with the Dragon Half end credits song (a rather surreal song that's either about sushi or an omelette). The show credits Beethoven for the music, but I didn't recognize the main theme (I did recognize lots of Beethoven references in the transitions). Years later, I went to an LA Philharmonic concert where they performed Beethoven's 7th symphony, and I nearly laughed out loud when they launched into the final movement.

as I recall...

We sang it through at least twice before recording it and you're right - it was a lot of fun.

That was an awesome song. It was a little after my time, I think I was a jaded senior by the time it was recorded, but I loved it and it remains a fond memory of my time at Mudd.
