I think I have laryngitis

  Nothing serious. Diseases always have such scary names but upon checking, laryngitis is kind of like a DLC to the common cold. Not a DLC I want but it's what I get.

  Basically I have all the symptoms of the common cold + I now have puberty voice. My voice is constantly breaking and it sounds horrible. Worse part is at work, where I have to talk. This isn't a big enough of an issue to call in sick (unless I use the term laryngitis, then they'll go "oh no" and probably not knowing what it is).

Down with the Sickness

OOH-WA-AH-AH-AH

  Currently sick. Sore throat, headache, constantly tired, all that jazzz. My phlegm was black as souls.

  I have a few reason why I think I got sick.

AAP, Pretty much nuffin'

  I tried out Brazillian Jiu Jitsu for the first time.

  I've always watched the men aggressively hug each other on the map, but I never got it. So, when I joined the "fundemental class", literally there was only 2 complete newbies, me and this other girl. The other girl came and tried out because her boyfriend brought her here, which means that those 2 will be partnering up.

  So who was I partnered up with? Some guy who's like purple belt. Well, I learn A LOT from him. My aikido days definitely helped with some of the basic movements (like rolling and break falling), but the grappling is insane.

  Needless to say I got my ass handed to me. I lasted like 3 seconds on the mat before needing to tap out cause I'm just constantly getting destroyed by these folks. It was fun though!

AA(10)O: 100th post

  Title is pushing it. I'm trying to fit like a 100th post milestone into the title. Conveniently, after N is O, which kinda looks like the number zero (0). So that's why I think it would be great for it to be like 1OO or like 10O or something. Look at me, master of literary and teacher of math.

AAM Part 2, Music Music Music!

  Just started my violin lessons! For the first class, the only thing we did was to how to hold the bow. The teacher assured me that the next class will have lots of squeaks and scratches, but for now, we gotta learn how to hold the bow.

  Holding the bow is actually pretty tough. Just in a few minutes, my fingers feels so stiff and janky. It feels like I'm always almost dropping the bow. She then told me why holding the bow is so important, and she did this quick playing thing, and told me that to do that, it's all in holding the bow, and not the wrist or arm technique or something. I do not understand what she's saying but I trust her because she's the one who's been playing for decades.

  Stay tuned for next week when I'll play horribly!

AAN, (k)Nots on my body aghhhhh

  Follow up from last week, my back still is super "sour" (酸). It's a concept where it's not really pain or a sore... but it's just not pleasant and annoying... usually due to bad posture or over exertion or any of those things.

  In my case, I think my shoulder and back is riddled with knots.
