Tonight I could not sleep. The baby is moving all the time. I too, feel very restless.Wednesday is my big day. I have 9 AM morning telecon, then 1:30 PM tutorial, 2:30 PM class, and 6-10 PM evening class. After my hard drive crashed, today the iPod stopped working for most of the day. I was devastated. I must have done something terribly ignorant to my life to get all these warnings. My midterm did not go as well as I wished--I was the second to the last to turn in my exam. My cell phone was out of battery. When I arrived home late, Mike is sleeping on the couch. When I could sleep, I listened to the iPod (it's now fixed) and finished the 48 lectures of music survey. Perhaps the last lecture is too disturbing to the baby.When I was driving home, I listened to the second movement of Mahler's 5th symphony, the anger and the despair toward death, and the exhaustion afterwards. The baby gave a sudden move when the music started. Later when I was listening to Schoenberg's Pierre Lunaire, the baby also moved violently. Late 19th century and early 20th century music is not suitable for baby.The baby has been moving for the last couple of hours. I am up to write this blog, and hopefully I can quiet down. Maybe the music is too exciting for both the baby and me. I read somewhere that only Baroque music is suitable for baby because the beat is the closest to the mother's heartbeat. Perhaps! If I have to listen to striking music, I should use headphone, so at least the baby is not agitated.But what about the music I'm writing now? I am trying to expand my harmonic language and utilize contemporary techniques. Doing something new is exciting. No wonder I cannot sleep. Does the baby receive my excitement???What is the baby doing now? Why the baby is moving so much? I am only listening to Berg's Violin Concerto using a headphone. :( OK, Bach next.
