I’m not a heartfelt person but I’ve gotten callouses from lifting, climbing, and now…. Bass

BACKGROUND:
I’ve been playing for around a week and have signed up for classes starting next month. Right now I’m doing the free online fender course for 1ish hour (30 active/ 30 passive minutes) most days.

FOCUS:
I’m focusing on metronome and music theory right now as per your recommendations.

CHALLENGE:
Biggest hurdle is alternate plucking while using different fingers to fret? I don’t know if that makes sense but every time I use my middle finger on a fret, I have the urge to pluck with my middle finger and vice versa. I don’t know how to stop this but I’m gonna just practice until that stops happening I guess?

ACCOMPLISHMENT:
I’ve been working on getting back on track with a song (and keeping up with metronome) after messing up instead of restarting the whole thing. Honestly this has been the most impressive thing I’ve gotten myself to do considering I can be a perfectionist at times.

GOALS:
I’m a very goal oriented person, but I don’t know what goals are realistic for January. Maybe play a funk heavy song from start to finish?

Know:
English
Arabic

Learning:
Spanish

Want to learn:
French
Italian?
German?
Turkish?
Idk I’m too indecisive

Enlighten me

30 hours a month? 60 hours? And how do you feel doing x amount of hours a month? Maintainable? Difficult but Ure doing it short time? Etc etc….

I’m 126 hours in. I work as a scribe for a doctor (so I sum up what happened in office). Sometimes Spanish speaking patients come in. When they did, I’d wait till the doctor was done to ask what occurred during the appointment. Today I decided to pay attention. I understood so much? Yes, I had to use 110% of my brain power. but that’s insane? And it’s kinda interesting because I didn’t feel like I caught much or understood her right at the time. But I did.

It doesn’t feel like an achievement though? I don’t know how to explain it LOL, but it feels like an everyday occurrence.

I would pay double my 8$ monthly to see that happen

Basically the title.

+ what do we think about using Systane, particularly the PF long lasting eyedrops 2x daily?

Go ham

Movie recommendations? I speak fluent Levantine and am wanting to learn fusha so recommendations in both dialects are appreciated🙂‍↕️

Im starting my intermediates rn and cant seem to find anything engaging in or outside DS. I could not get myself to zone in for stardew valley.

I asked this a while back and yall had amazing recommendations (spyfall being one of them which I watched twice now lol), so I'm gonna try this again. In or outside of DS, which series do yall like the most?

Yall know any places around grapevine / flower mount / irving that teaches music/ MMA or has a pottery studio? Im down to learn smth new as well, so if yall have any recommendations please lmk. Obviously the main goal is to not go broke.

Or anywhere nice to volunteer at/ things to do alone. Im just so bored and my job wont give me overtime😭

What are goals you want to hit BEFORE new years? And what are some goals you want to set for your new years goals?

Is it normal to understand podcasts only when im watching the video or am i borderline deaf and have spent my whole life lip reading😭

Edit: after a bit of reflection, I realized this is an attention problem. Issue resolved; thanks guys.

Looking for spanish (any region)
Offering arabic (leventine) and/or english (america)

Do they get paid a yearly salary or by video? I don't know why I care but I cant seem to stop thinking about it.

I woke up at midnight and decided to go for a mile run. My first time completing mile run without stopping was a week ago, give or take, and I haven't really been able to push past that.

Anywho, I find a coffee shop a mile away from me except I forgot they'd be closed and I forgot the fact that I couldn't exactly drive back home.

So I ended up running 1.5 miles without walking breaks 😛😛 and walking back home the rest of the 0.5 miles.

It didn't feel as hard because I was so annoyed with myself.

Onto 2 miles.

I'm a pediatric scribe and I was wondering how to go about doing the pharmacology sketc*hy videos. Starting it now will kill* *two birds with one stone so why not.

What are yalls favorite series & their difficultly level.

I'll start:
Series- Keep talking and nobody explodes (beginner)
Series- Flaggle (beginner)
Video- Word association game (beginner)
Video(s)- Anything with Gustavo (n/a)

Around a week or so ago, I was STRUGGLING to get to a mile. I would get halfway there and quit. Now I can run a mile and still have something in the tank. It gets better. Onto 1.5 miles🫦

Andres and shel were in my dream. I don't really know what language it was. Needless to say I feel a little creeped out😭.
