Stage 4, Day 24,
This morning showed me that I have willpower; I had far too little sleep, and was seriously tempted to call off the entire morning ritual at 5:30 in the morning. The longer you stay awake, the more you don't want to go back to bed. I felt terrible, but I made for that with a nap at 11:30.
Sleeping enough is one of the only things where I need to modify my lifestyle. Either that or nap more to compensate.
I went to the interview; I had a good report with the guy (I had previously met). The job doesn't seem that bad, I may consider it once I can evaluate my options. I'm going to a job fair, though it's related to foreign travel (not my focus).
New habits are forming on their own, especially taking the time to do ear training, which seems tedious and almost pretencious, but it's actually so exciting to think of the results; once you develop your ear to Perfect Pitch (recognize any tone, any chord from any instrument), you can begin to learn theory just by listening to music. Now that's exciting!
Nevertheless, I practiced 3-4 hours today on various things, with various degrees of focus. I even came up with a cool percussive run for the song 'Footloose'.
I went to wine and cheese with my faculty; I was late as I had done an online quiz for one of the classes. Some of the girls in other years are pretty cute; I just never see them. Once I push a little bit, I could simply go up to whoever and say hi. Felt a bit reserved and insecure at the beginning though.
Tomorrow, I'm seeing this guy in concert: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i2pbDSmVnU
Looking forward to it. I might try to ask him how he went about practicing and how he got as good as he is.
