Day 24 Tuesday, Sept. 20th.

Today I woke up early to practice drums before my Dok class. That was not easy considering the lack of sleep I have been getting lately. In any event, I dove deep into my technique work (trying to make up for a weekend off), and actually made progress! Go goal oriented practicing! I can't even remember the last time I went into a practice room and came out noticeably better! Feels pretty good.

In Dok we talked about professionalism in music, and what makes a professional. Things like education, methodic work, professional code/unions, replacement/subbing, project oriented work, and so on. Since I am not in the project group portion of the class (since I am only staying one term), it was a pretty short class. For my lesson...well, I didn't have it today. I was originally to have lessons only every other week, and I think our communications got mixed up when last discussing that. However, it was not really all that bad for me, since I was not as ready as I could have been because of my weekend off.

Other than that, a lot of CNBC Million Dollar Portfolio Challenge trading (getting into Forex, which is dangerous haha), and being lazy/eating frites (aka being Dutch). Tomorrow is my (other) day off, so I will no doubt be spending it in the library trying to figure out my Debussy assignment. Fun!
