Music Cultures of the World

I have a final in my Music Cultures of the World class tomorrow at 2:25. I'm going to do very poorly. It was a very interesting class and I'm glad I took it, but we have so many terms that aren't in English that it seems impossible to learn. Add to that all the listening examples and we have to state what we hear in each piece, and in certain pieces what section (if you've ever taken a western music history course, it's similar to naming whether this is the A section, or the recapitulation of the development section or the minuet vs. the trio etc.).
Also, there's a essay portion, which will be hard because I haven't really read the readings since I've had of 50 pages worth of papers to write and research this semester, 2 for this same class.

So, this might be the first BC (that's a grade used here at UW Madison, we don't get A- or C+) I get since my first semester at college.

Crap.
