Apparently this still happens even today. Some professional violinists/cellists still prefer the sound of gut strings over synthetic ones as they have a more supple sound.

Can't believe it finally happened. It was gooood but unfortunately I was still a little jetlagged which I think took away from a bit of the experience.

I think this is gonna be a problem. Sitting on the floor hurts my back after awhile. I'm only 23. That's not right. I need to start stretching more. Been doing a bit of yoga but I definitely need to have more consistency.

Just a vibey soundtrack. Makes me feel happy and doesn't distract me when I'm working but makes for good background music.

“An omelette, promised in two minutes, may appear to be progressing nicely. But when it has not set in two minutes, the customer has two choices—wait or eat it raw. Software customers have had the same choices. The cook has another choice; he can turn up the heat. The result is often an omelette nothing can save—burned in one part, raw in another.”

Spent a lot of time with Jermaine and SUTD friends. Was nice to be back. Texas was alright, nothing super memorable, but a nice trip overall.
