It’s been a while since I’ve listened to KOTOKO’s Re-sublimity and agony, the opening and ending tracks for 『神無月の巫女』 respectively. Having just given the two a whirl again (and wow, I’ve forgotten how awesome these two tracks were), I realized how the beginning of agony was somewhat like Love Planet Five’s 『天壌を翔る者たち』 in the sense that both tracks didn’t get going with the lyrics until over a full minute has passed. Upon closer inspection, I realized that both tracks were actually composed by the same person, 高瀬一矢. Seems like the fellow also composed Suppration-core-, an insert track for 『神無月の巫女』, and here we also have this one minute opening of full techno before the lyrics rolls in.

So what does this all mean? Nothing in particular, really, I’m just trying to avoid studying for the ECON 102 final. I’ve actually had thoughts of blogging the first episode of sola today but have not done so because I figured my time would be better spent on preparing for the final. I guess I have not lost my sanity and sense of priorities completely since those entries always takes a while.

Well, I’ve got my last final for this term tomorrow for ECON 102 at 1930 - 2200. There are actually five sections of ECON 102, but only Larry Smith’s sections’ final is going to be two and a half hours long, the other three sections’ finals will only be two hours long.

This is actually kind of funny because ever since the examination schedule for this term was posted, he has been hounding us every single class to write his final and his final only because we are not writing a common final. So technically, you might get kicked out at two hours when you might’ve been under the assumption that the final was two and a half hours.

Not having all ECON 102 students take a common final makes perfect sense if you’ve had him because I doubt the other professors would be able to replicate his lectures. This isn’t to say that these other ECON 102 professors “sucks” (since I doubt I’ve ever had them), I’m just trying to say that Larry’s material and lectures is unlikely to be reproduced in any form unless he was the one that presented it. So, they don’t, and they present the material differently, and so we don’t take a common final. Don’t believe me? Take his course and find out (oh, there I go recommending you all take his course again).
