I have been listening to Mahler’s first symphony for some reason.

Finished the Trial yesterday. Now I’m reading all the unfinished chapters in the back of the book. Thinking seriously of starting this one again.

Class went okay today. I couldn’t read them. Much less talk today. hard to have class participation (which many of them professed to like on their student infos) if no one talks.

I mentioned the Arabic culture in my prep for our Koranic chant piece.  People didn’t know that our numbers and especially zero come from this culture.  I might be wrong, but the class seemed a tad hostile around this issue.
