Quarantine diaries, day 4

 I managed to practice violin a bit today. I've forgotten how to be patient it seems ahhaha. My teacher texted me to see how I was and told me to stop practicing so much. Oops.

Then I decided that I would not go to work tomorrow, and finished a Japanese movie of a man who went back home to the country side to find his life's purpose. It worked out for him in the end.
