Stressed & Overwhelmed

Well, today was quite a stressful day.  During the day I only had one class (I have tonight yet tho), and it was Music Appreciation.  I became very overwhelmed today especially, as I know next to nothing music-wise.   Music is not my "thing".   I don't believe I have an ear to understand music.  And this class, thankfully isn't about notes or anything that music like.  In class today we sat through some teaching of different meters or whatever they are, and then he played big (fascinating to listen to) classical music pieces to have us distinguish what kind of meter or whatever it was.    No matter how many times he explained it I was lost.  When he asked the class if anyone had questions about anything I didn't ask because the rest of the class seemed to get what he was talking about and I was completely lost and confused - it would take him at least a whole semester it seems to bring me to a place where I understand what he started talking about on day one.   Music to me is like English to a 40-year-old Only-Russian speaking man.   I'm lost.    And I got the strong impression that this was some of the more basic stuff and over the next weeks/months we would be doing some more complicated stuff.   I feel like where I'm at with music, I need to be in the class that is 2 or 3 classes before this one . .  . except this is the first class.   Since that class the rest of my day has seemed to be in a daze.  I have been very distracted and my mind doesn't seem to be fully focused - I'm praying I can focus tonight in Biology, during the lab especially.    

In conclusion I dropped the class.     I talked with my advisor to see if I am required to take the class and she said no, but I would need to take another Fine Arts class.   I asked here what the other classes were and she listed off a few, Intro to Film, Intro to video, intro to theater, and a whole lot more.  So I am thinking I will take one of these next semester.
