The Theory Assignment that is Never Done

Hours and hours I've spent working on this assignment
Pouring over notes and rests
Trying to figure out how to make sense of this great big line of black dots on a page
Instead of sweet completion,
I am left with utter confusion
I would like to say that I'm good at music,
That it comes naturally for me
But it would seem that Second Species Counterpoint desires to prove me wrong
I suppose that you could say maybe I'm too creative for it's limitations
Or maybe that the context in which it is constructed does not suit my learning style
You might also say however,
that I just don't get it and should go running through a field to try and clear my head
Or that today just isn't my day
Any old way you look at it,
I've got a few hours left before it needs to be slid underneath the door to my professors office
And yet, here I am blogging about it
