Jogging 1

From April, the weather became really good that all the snow that didn't melt down until March melt away, and the temperature was quite high that I suddenly changed my clothing. Therefore, I decided to go to a park near my house for jogging. It was fresh and since I didn't exercise a lot during the winter, I felt that I went a little bit feeble. So I was more enthusiastic in jogging. I jogged one round and it took about 20 minutes. I thought that I should come to the park more and jog when I get stressed about studying and when my mind becomes complicated. Next time, I want to jog with my sister because she said that she will go on a diet. 

The learning outcomes are 

Increased awareness of strengths and areas for growth
Showing perseverance and commitment
Developing new skills

Piano

I started working on a new score called 'he is a pirate' which was played in a film 'Pirates of the Caribbean'. It is a complicated score since it should be played in a fast pace. I am now playing the first page for several times. I most of the time played new age, a type of piano genre which is generally quiet and calm, but suddenly I wanted to challenge to more noisy and exciting piece while I was searching for new score.

I have been playing for 3 days and now I can play the first page well. So now I want to keep working on other pages. Since I have started working on new type of score, it was hard at first but now I am quite confident about my playing. Thus, I felt happy when I completed the first page and because of it, I was happy to move on to the next page.

From this activity..

I increased awareness of strengths and areas for growth since I knew that other types of genre are not as hard as I thought before I had tried.

I undertook new challenges since it is the first time to work on the new genre.

I showed perseverance and commitment because I had to endure the process that I had taken to complete the first page

Developing new skills because I found out my own ways to move my fingers faster.
