with this weekend relaxing away at my parents' house, I'll have access to piano, which I intend to practice 4-5 hrs/ day and try to wrap up as much as the polonaise as possible. One last big push and I should be finished with the preliminary learning process. This is while ahead of the scheduled date, roughly 2 months away...
still again, time does fly because 2 months had already passed since the challenge first began.
