REVISE

driving license
focus properly on making music
go to football training more religiously

Do you feel that you're overly procrastinating?

Taking these as separate;

1) How far away do you feel you are from your license?

2) Where do you feel you are with your production and where do you want to be?

3) How often do you go at the moment?

He goes all the time, he's just gonna wear a Kippah and a Tallit now.

gonna cut down on my computer gaming (which has probably reached slightly unhealthy levels) and start learning music production. Don't have my turntables with me currently so I'll have to settle for making my own music.

1. fairly close tbh i passed the theory but failed the hazard perception just need to get off my arse and organise another test and prepare properly. with the practical i need to work on some manoeuvers but more or less im there i reckon

2. im not too upset about the quality atm, i reckon im still improving but im definitely not producing stuff as gd as i'd like. im quite poor at the technical side of things (mixdowns, sound design etc.) and i dont really have a gd workflow which means i end up writing at a pretty slow rate. if i work hard and improve the technical stuff hopefully the creative side will come with experience and practice. easier said than done tho

3. i go every other week but i should be going at least once if not twice a week

mixdowns will come in time, re; sound design maybe have some sessions dedicated to just that. Design, patch programming, building up a sound library etc?

yeah should get my driving license too. it's a pain in the ass tho; gotta sign up for driving school again and i'm not sure i can do it in my current city - as i'm not registered here, which means i'll probably have to go to my parents' for a few weeks.

never had problems with the theory, but i failed the driving exam via getting into a fight with the cop. and never really bothered to re-take it, specially after i sold my car
