life v20.6
All these languages are starting to take a toll on each other. I've become a jack of all trades. My english grammar has taken a backseat and I'm dropping all sorts of adverbs and getting my tenses wrong. Chinese doesn't really deal with tenses and has "time indicator" participles. I was trying to speak french to someone a week ago and I kept using "我“ for "Je".
Exams this year are so weird. It's not so much study as it is muscle memory at this point. Learning pieces and harmonizations for piano and guitar is just practice upon practice. There's no way to fake it or multiple choice to guess at. There's also the nervousness of performing on stage. You could really know your pieces but if you lose that looseness, you lose the piece no matter how well you know it, and thus destroy the mood. So there's a sort of balance there to consider.
My cousin's Wedding's next month and I hope I am able to go. Our families as a whole are not very close knit due to the fact that we all pretty much live on opposing sides of every facet of the cartographer's view of the world (US, CAN, HK, AUS) so we don't get to see each other as much as we'd like to. I wouldn't mind catching up with family.
Last push! Exams!
