In the previous article, I wrote about two important skills; in this blog, I will continue to talk about the two other essential skills for a graduate music student.

Since I came here to study, every week I have had a full schedule of coursework plus practicing and performances, which from time to time make me feel overwhelmingly tired. I often reflect on my daily routine and effectiveness and try to think of more ways to increase productivity. So far, in addition to the clichéd “time management,” I have discovered four must-have skills that are essential for improving efficiency. 
As the summer is soon approaching, I have been in the very long process of applying for internships and auditioning for something to do this summer. I applied to a plentiful number of theaters at the beginning of the year. Four months later, little theaters came back with updates, and most were not yet ready. It’s been difficult to wait. I am a very eager person and that has its positives, but also negatives. It’s painful when the nagging thought of waiting is always in the back of my head, but it’s so exciting to think of the possibilities. 
As you may know from my previous posts, I am a dual degree student. I study music and creative writing, and I love what I do. In a lot of ways, I feel fortunate to experience my education and, to some extent, the world, as both writer and musician. But when it came to preparing for graduate school, I had to make some difficult choices. Academically speaking, it is not really possible to be a graduate student in multiple degree programs. Or at least, I’ve never seen such a thing outside of the MD-PHD track, which is not my field! 
In my previous blog, I introduced some places I often go to in my free time, and in this post, I will continue to share some other nice places. They are not too far away from campus and are worth visiting
