Stage 2, Day 11,
Wrote something long and elaborate a few days ago, but I accidentally deleted it. Here goes..
My days are MUCH more productive. Beating GTA 5 helped lol. Gosh, I love being productive.
Here's a brief list of what I'm doing:
- I've been applying to any and all titled positions that I can. I'm accredited in this position, it takes a 4 year degree to do what I do, and there's such a small amount of people in my field, which means that it's taken with more weight, even though I'm entry level.
- Doing my singing warmups most days.
- I practice guitar at least two hours a day.
- Signed up for the gym three days ago. Went twice. Hurt my shoulder, albeit not irreparably, today while doing an overhead triceps extension. My right shoulder seemed to dislocate (double-jointed) while the weight was above and behind me, and so I lost all strength in my right arm. The weight was coming down in a way that it wasn't supposed to. I stopped there to prevent any further damage.
- I spend time on Khan Academy, learning Algebra. I want to eventually learn Calculus, but I don't exactly know to what ends (possibly mental masturbation)
- I do my language flashcards (Italian and Spanish)
- I spend time on LingQ, a language learning website. I'm making great progress.
My newest pet project is the learning of the Trivium, which literally means 'The Three-Way (Tri) Path (Via)'. It's composed of Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric, in that order. Successfully learning these skills allows one to look at the world in a more fair and objective way, permitting one to gather knowledge in any given subject whilst being able to discern to true from the untrue. In short, it's the holy grail of knowledge that teaches you how to learn.
The step after that is the Quadrivium, composed of Arithmetic, Music, Geometry, and Astrology. They are realms to explore once you have formed to proper framework to hold the new information to scrutiny.
I've spent some time learning Grammar today. I've also signed up to an online course in logic and grammar.
