Study Music

Throughout my life, I have found that there are two types of people: Those who enjoy doing studies while listening to music, and those who cannot study while listening to music.

I fall in the former group. In fact, there are times where I cannot concentrate if I do not have music playing. Most of my study music sounds like what is playing right now, or is a nice, relaxing soundtrack. For me, music is a stimulant for thought and a catalyst for the written word. Just nice and softly in the background. Not blaring. I just turned my tunes down because, at the moment, they were blaring.

Another favorite, besides Catholic Masses (no, I am not Catholic, but I love their music), is Into the West, which is the song that has been played most on this computer's iTunes player.

Isn't music great?

That was a rhetorical question, Zack.

I've found that study hobbits...I mean, habits, vary, depending on the studier. When I went to Ohio, my cousin and I would often find ourselves working on differing projects in the same house, usually my aunt's house. In fact, always my aunt's house. My aunt's house is quite open, so that unless you're sitting on a bed to study (not the best when the definition of study includes a computer), you will be hearing everyone else's work.

I was reduced to listening to music through a single ear bud.

It was hard, I tell you. Especially once another cousin decided to turn on the TV.

Two girls working and one boy watching TV=one boy turning TV off.

Music is an integrated part of my life. The simple fact that I, on average, buy more than one CD per month ought to be witness to that.
