Journal of My Joblessness!- 19 August (Friday)

Struggle continues..
Quite a difficult day to convince myself to get about to anything productive!
Things done:
- Posted my second French video blog... 'mon restaurant préféré.' Ended up being much longer than expected, at 2min! Showed it to Lisa, who gave it a PASS mark. No life-threatening mistakes.
- Messed around on the drum kit for a good hour. Added Muse's Time is Running Out to the list of songs to work on. The drummer's tom-work on that song is quite new to me... so a good thing to pick up.
- Went for a swim at Queenstown swimming pool. After getting over my initial sensation that I was swimming in a big pool of sweat, I had a good swim. 500m with a few breaks. Good start with quite a few things to work on.
- French Friday with Lisa. A lot of fun! Managed to meet a few new people, which was nice. Got to speak in French to at least ONE person. Major victory! Had quite a good time with Kumanan and Yong shen too. After French Friday, Lisa and I stayed for the movie- Je fais le mort. Decent movie and a good end to the day.
- Not mentioned was the amount of time I wasted watching YouTube because I couldn't get myself to do things. Not the most encouraging at all!
Lessons Learnt: Sometimes, I should just take a break! Next week, I'll plan for something fun (movie perhaps?) towards the end of the week. That will give me something to work towards and serve as a reward for remaining productive. Otherwise, I start to get cranky!
