There's Too Much Confusion

This past spring, I took a course on the operas of Richard Wagner. It was one of the more interesting scholarly experiences I have had; when dealing with Wagner, the sky is the limit as far as approaches and concepts of study.

When it came time to produce the final paper for the course, I was so overwhelmed by the many ideas I had that I was struggling to come up with anything solid. I began pondering Wagner's vast influence on the music we hear in media today, and my path then became clear: why not combine two things I really dig? And that's how I wrote a paper on Wagner and Battlestar Galactica.
