Trying to sort out how to make ends meet financially while doing the PhD. I was so mistaken when I applied, believing if you are accepted you are supplied with a living wage while studying. Nope. But at least I’m half done. Trying to find ways to keep floating, should I sell real estate? Should I pitch another show to CBC, expand my rejection letter collection? Maybe double down on studying jazz standards. Next up I’m In The Mood For Love with the special three diminished chord. It’s harder than the first two. Slow it down and work out the sections. The nice thing about teaching is how often I have to tell other people to trust in slowing things down. Can I practice what I preach.
