TCHAIK PROJECT 9 - End of 2019

Finally, the last set of diaries of 2019! 

*note: Here in Brazil the end of the calendar year is also the end of the school year, because our summer starts on December. So imagine the stress of the double end every year...

September 10th, 2019 - Tuesday

Hello! It’s not everyday that I’m overthrown by anxiety. There are days when I’m overthrown by a huge stomachache as well. But I’ll try to practice anyway. I’m still not satisfied with the consistency of days I practice nor the time I practice in one day, I think it’s not enough. I don’t intend to practice 8 hours in one day, I don’t even have this amount of time available in my routine. My goal right now is to practice 5 days a week (my professional schedule stops me from practicing every single day) between 3 and 4 hours each day. My good concentration does not last more than that.

Going back to today: I have about 3 hours to practice and a strong stomachache.
