So I don’t have much to share again lol. I didn’t do anything this weekend…like at all. Saturday is like my designated chore day, where I’ll clean and get groceries for the week. That kind of happened. I went to Sam’s mostly to get dog food and a few things I was running low on and that was basically all I did Saturday because I lost motivation to clean and get real food. Also lugging a 50lbs bag of dog food up to my apartment wasn’t fun. The rest of my Saturday was just like my Sunday, spent with me sleeping, relaxing, watching yet again more K-dramas, and just overall doing nothing. Ah, nope, not nothing on Sunday, I did laundry. Haha. Any-who, it was very uneventful, but as my extremely introverted and mentally ill self, having a weekend to not really do anything but chill is really nice and sets me up for the week. I’ll sometimes feel bad about it because I don’t do anything, but I know from experience, if I have a busy weekend, I’ll spend my week stressed and tired. But if I just chill, I feel more motivated to get back to work on Mondays. So to make myself not feel like crap for doing nothing, I’ll try to get one or two smaller things done. Whatever works.
Today was also pretty freaking normal believe it or not. I practiced and got some good work done on memory and Chant de Linos. I started playing Chant de Linos with piano recordings and it was hard, but really helpful. I also looked at a couple new pieces and overall I just felt more motivated to practice today probably because I didn’t do anything this weekend. Breaks are important no matter what our stupid monkey brains tell us. I then had rehearsal which was alright, the energy in the room definitely reflected the cloudy, cold, and rainy weather today. But afterwards, I rushed to get a room and record one of my pieces today for my lesson since my professor is out of town. It’s a really fun piece and I am excited about it. I’m also still working on the piece I wrote about last post or the post before. I think I’m going to like it. It’s like a dark, haunting, anxiety ridden, reminiscent of children’s songs kind of vibe. You’ll see.
Tomorrow I am in charge of our studio class, which should be interesting. I’m sure it’ll be fine, and I am honestly excited for it. We’re talking about social media and engagement, analytics, and more fun stuff that social media creators get to deal with. I find it all to be really interesting. And I think that about wraps everything up, not much, but sometimes that’s good.
