Hello! ✨☺️ I have about two weeks until a study break before exams, and I haven’t realised how much time has passed by since I’ve posted on here! Lil updates:
🔖 I’ve taken an extra course this semester so it’s been really busy, but if I continue on this track I finish my degree by this time next year!
🔖 I’ve had to stop violin lessons online just because being taught online is completely different than in person teaching, not having a physical teacher really impacted me - and my tendinitis flared up really badly because of tension. I’m looking forward to healing and starting back up with slowwwww scales to be mindful of tension and intonation, since I’m sure I sound whack since I haven’t been playing for a while.
🔖 The violin exam I was preparing for got cancelled due to Covid, which I was disappointed for but it was probably for the best since I was pushing my body (and causing tension) to prepare for it. Because the exam was cancelled I was able to take the break without guilt, and I know when I start back up again it will be without pressure.
🔖 I’ve been pretty consistent with Mandarin - learning new vocabulary and practicing writing, that now I journal in Mandarin! It’s the most satisfying and meditative feeling, truly a beautiful language.
🔖 I’m planning on moving from the country I’m in and finding an apartment with my best friend as soon as I’m finished with my degree, so I have a year to go but it’s just been so exciting planning everything with her 🤍
Hope all of you have been taking care!
