Only in college XXI

At the beginning of the semester in 1989, my Intro To Psychology teacher announced that each student would have to turn in a project.  For most students, this meant writing a paper.  One lucky student, however, would get to skip the paper and assemble music on cassette to be played as the class walked in.  The instructor was vague about his criteria.  I submitted a tape of what I thought was appropriate filing-into-class music.  I don't remember what music I picked, except for George Harrison's "Got My Mind Set On You."  My thinking there was psychological.  When the instructor chose the music during the first two weeks, Harrison's "When We Was Fab" came up twice.  I thought repeating a song that had already been played would be too obvious, so I thought another big Harrison hit might increase my odds of being selected.  Alas, the teacher chose someone else's cassette.  I think I would have done a great job selecting the music for class each week, and I wonder why the other student's tape was chosen.  I earned an A- on the paper I wrote, though, so I suppose it all worked out.  Still, I would have enjoyed having 25% of my semester grade determined by my ability to make a mix tape each week.
