A New Routine

So it’s a new year and I spent most of it really kicking back not doing much, it was great to properly relax after the hectic end of work days and the mad scrabble for trying to work out my university options.

Yesterday was an interesting day because I mentally earmarked this as the day when I would be “off holidays”, despite having no work to go to, where I would enact a regime where I made use of my time rather than playing computer games all day. With just two days of regime, I’m feeling pretty good about it. Well actually I’m mostly feeling bloody sore since I decided to walk home from a shop run (supplies for making Pumpkin soup) via a back road. The back round pretty much involved scaling a mountain, phew.

Studying at home is actually pretty awesome because I can sit there listening to recitals of Chinese pronunciation and constructed sentences aloud. That’s really not something I’ve been doing with all my train-study. Stuck up a whiteboard next to my the desk in my new study, which I’m very very pleased with all up particularly having sourced an actual papasan chair for the sunny reading alcove… Ended the day with more study while I fed some seeds to visiting parrots on the balcony and then cooked up a fabulous pumpkin soup.

A hard yakka day but extremely satisfying too. I’m just concerned about momentum, day 2 and I just didn’t seem to have the attention span to put in a couple of hours of study. Let’s see how we get on for the rest of the week as the deadline to the VTAC first round offers draws closer. 13 days and counting…
