When I decided to stop doing software engineering to do music full time, I had a very clear reason. Getting up at 5 AM to do music before my engineering job was exhausting! I could only do 3-4 hours on a good day. It seemed that always I would finally hit on something & have to leave to go to work. It truly sucked
These days I am back getting up at 5 AM again! Wh-what? My over 3 hours of German school starts at 13:00. The bike ride there is 30 minutes & you have to be early to get a decent seat. I have over 90 minutes of homework every day if I do all the vocabulary at the end of the chapters to include conjugating the verbs. We do 1-2 chapters every day.
German school wipes me out much in the same way that my engineering job used to. It's the equivalent of taking your brain & putting it inside a blender.
I spend a while online apartment hunting every morning. That takes longer than you think.
I do my DJing/track hunting after class.
I definitely need more time with my music. So 5 AM it is.
I have 3 more months of this to be able to take my fluency exam.
I was thinking about taking a break but my closest German friend made a very good point. He told me you know you will never go back. Once you get used to an easier schedule you won't do it. It's now or never. You have to suck it up. You can do it!
So I'm doing it. It's seriously ironic that I'm back to this.
