Term X, Week Y

Tue Jul 14, 2009, 5:49 PM

  • Listening to: HANAJI ("My nose is bleeding at high tension!
  • Reading: Nothin'
  • Watching: Anchorman, in a minute
  • Playing: Vidya
... where X is 'not a term' and Y is 'jeez'.

I missed an entire term of updating! Oh my, oh my. As is usually the case with 'out of the blue' journals, I'm only updating to flex my awesome.

Yeaaah, I passed the first year with a first! This thing actually counts towards my degree, so I've already earned 8% of my final degree! Alternatively, you could see it as missing out on 3%, but I'm forever an optimist. So, only 62% to go, woo!

Since my last journal entry, I looked heavily in to piano technique, and I'm pleased to say that I'm making good head-way in the memorisation department. I've also got a practice routine going, which involves playing 3 octaves of blowing through every scale and arpeggio, followed by memorisation, followed by practice. It's a sweet set-up that only takes a few hours a day.

Alarmingly, this routine is currently being interrupted by my irregular sleep cycle. Rather, the cycle itself is regular, but the time that the cycle begins is not! Going to bed at 9am is clearly unacceptable if it means waking up at 7pm and being unable to practice! I am attempting to rectify this.

In project news, I'm going to post a list of all the projects I began and eventually lost interest in, hopefully motivating me to stop being so lazy and to actually do something productive. ... I could get a job I suppose, but man what the hell.
* 18°09'
* No Rain
* Shooter
* Various writings
* (New Project, lost interest almost immediately) Turnabout Creator

That's about it, I guess! Short update. Once I pick something to do, I'll post about it and hopefully return to being verbose on a regular basis!

Until next time, later!

The innocence you can't protect.

Walk up and down that lonely treble clef."
