I did end up drawing- I finished one painting that I had been sitting on for 6 months, started and completed another, and am now working on a third painting. I found that a great motivator was joining a forum with a weekly contest where the participants routinely post their works-in-progress. Surrounding myself in a more art-centric environment seems to make me want to draw more.
I’ve learned about 60-some words in Italian so far. Yes, I am using a spaced repetition program. I’ve also been reading about grammar so I know what to do with the words once I have them memorized. I’ve failed to remember to do this every day, though. I figure I will set an alarm on my phone in order to remind myself to review the words.
I’ve failed to force myself to wake up earlier and go to sleep sooner.
I realized that I do, in fact, want to be around people. it’s large groups and unfamiliar situations that make me feel uncomfortable. I’ve decided to slowly push at those boundaries until I feel more comfortable in social situations.
