A Day in a Musician's life Part 7 (final) – Nicole

Hello! I apologise in advanced for not posting yesterday! I just had one busy, yet annoying day; my laptop decided to go crazy all of the sudden with updating. Ugh… Updating. It took almost the whole day

Also, my Microsoft Office decided to crash… multiple times. Well, I guess yesterday was just a bad day for me with technology! Oh well. Here’s what my typical Sunday looks like!


SUNDAY

Every Sunday mornings I either sleep in, or simply wake up early to do some hydrotherapy/swimming at my local pool. Today, I decided to sleep in after having a long day yesterday. It was totally worth it. I woke up with a smile on my face thinking, “Ohhh! That was some good sleep!” Tomorrow, I’ll be doing swimming training, as I finish my day early (4:15PM) FOR THE FIRST TIME ON MONDAYS. AHH!

Here’s two separate schedules if I either sleep in, or go for a swim in the morning:

PATHWAY NO.1: SLEEP IN

I sleep in till either 8:30, 9:30, or 10:00. It depends how much sleep, or how lazy I am getting out of bed whenever I sleep in. Hahahaha. After when I wake up, I do resistance training, following with my physio exercises for approximately 20 to 30 minutes.

Typical sleep in day schedule
Let’s say I start my day at 9:30AM, because that’s usually the time I get up? I don’t know… Hahaha.

“Ughh… Don’t tell me about it. I would like to pass, thank you very much.”

Summary?

  • Sometimes, technology crashes, and there’s nothing you could do about it. 😐
  • I had a not so bad day
  • I’m always organised, but today was, “I got this, and that to do. Let’s do it!” Nek minute, “Why the heck am I spending a lot of time on this?!” It’s okay. This happens sometimes, if you haven’t planned out your day/studying day well. Hahaha
