Monday started out a bit strangely,
After the conversation with Pauline from yesterday, decided to stick with my new resolution of trying to use up my time wisely. The half-hour break I get in the afternoon is not enough to get any work done... so instead, I'm using it as a complete break to practice my violin instead. While I'm not doing much more than 15-20 minutes every day I can definitely feel that practice is helping me regain some good reflexes. My fingertips are starting to grow callous again on the left hand, and my bow work is smoother. @aardnebby.lj mentioned that it sounds like I'm gaining more assurance. I'm also trying to focus on the good things I've achieved today: mostly kept up with all the marking the students sent me and did some work for my year 12 class. Starting to feel a bit stressed out with work.
