One of my classes is called "Immigration and Assimilation in the U.S." The lectures are powerpoint presentations online with our professor reading his lecture script as a voice-over. The subject matter is interesting, but he speaks at such a slow cantar, it can be mind-numbing to listen to more than two in a row.
Trying to keep myself occupied, I turned on some music in my iTunes player and played with the volume levels until I could listen to lecture AND some instrumental music. My music of choice? The Lord of the Rings soundtracks.
Now whatever my professor is saying sounds dramatic, as an epic score swells behind his words, lifting them up out of their mediocrity and into grandiosity.
Lectures are much more interesting now. And I am ever-the-more convinced that everything in life deserves a soundtrack.
