I just discovered that I don't like college. I like my violin and viola teachers and the orchestra dircetor but I basically hate everything else about it. I want to just focus on music but I can't. I have Spanish quizzes and calc quizzes and papers to write. It just makes it so hard to actually fit in the violin. I am horrible at ear training and I have to practice that a lot as well and everything just sucks. I didn't have time to play my violin or viola today, except in orchetra, and it just sucks. I will I would be good enough to get into a conservatory, there I would be able to practice however much I wanted and not have to worry about how gramatically correct my sentences are. Perhaps it will get better, I don't know, I'm new at this. All I know, is that I had the realization that I don't like college.

Ear training is important - as it helps with your playing. As for the other stuff, i can see that it seems that it won't help you, but you will find one day that it might come in handy.
