Haha can't fault ya there! What's your area of study? Sounds like a fun task at hand!

Ethnomusicology. I'm studying music and martial arts, particularly the percussion used by some Chinese kung fu clubs. It is definitely fun because I'm interested in the subject but, boy oh boy, it is also a lot of work!

And it makes me nit pick like crazy about minutia like punctuation involving brackets
