You know one positive thing with staying at home? More time for hobbies and side-hustles! That's one major thing that I have learned during the past quarter, and I take my colleagues as my inspiration for this because they have created (and is still creating) wonderful things amidst these hard and unprecedented times. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and so I would want also to do something similar to what they are doing, but within an area that I am comfortable with.

🎓 Educational - finish a music theory course in Coursera / Linked Learning
✓ Finished week 1 and I am astounded on how chords and scales relate to each other
✓ Still in progress on week 2 and I am mindblown by how I could know the key of a song, recognize key signatures of a sheet music, and learning by heart the major scales on the piano. By using the tonic, subdominant, and dominant chords of a major scale, I could now locate easily the chords of a song once I recognize which key it is in. Ahh I'm so happy with my progress so far!
