    A New Era

    I closed Wednesday for bookings to have one more day off. However, I didn't think that my students would then have to book lessons on the rest of the weekdays. The same number of students would have fewer days for bookings. So, now instead of 6-7 lessons per day I have 10. What a silly teacher!
    However, I was really exhausted. So I'll see how a new schedule will work for me in the future.

    There has been tons of work. Thanks to all the students who have passed this distance with me!


    Corrections:

    Tense change: In English we say "I didn't think they would have to..." but "I think they will have to..." I'm not entirely sure why you have to use conditional in the negative but it doesn't sound right otherwise.

    Remove: The however here doesn't sound right as you have already used however to compare the consequences of more bookings, you would need to add new information to compare with for "however" to make sense here. I'm not sure what you mean by "pass this distance" so would consider changing that. If you mean "thanks to all the students who have helped pass the time during isolations/social distancing with me", that's how I would write it.

    Add: we sure like our articles in English, "...rest of the..." is the correct phrase.

    Hope you don't mind some feedback. Really good writing keep it up!

    Hey there, the difference is really to do with how formal you want to sound. "Rhythmic song" already sounds quite formal to the point of I would consider changing it depending on the context. Music being a large part of culture, it's usually subject to a lot more slang and so unless you're writing this in a very formal setting I would consider saying or writing something more along this lines of "kicked off this morning with a *insert local slang for song eg. Banger, tune (I'm Australian so that's what I'm basing it off)*.

    If you're writing a story you might prefer "the mood was set by the rhythmic drums and catchy melody"...and so on.

    Rhythmic song sounds a little clunky is all but I'm possibly being too pedantic.

    In english we don't say "we don't not necessarily", it's grammatically incorrect. You either do necessarily or don't necessarily need to....whatever. There is some intonation differences between "don't" and "do not" that you should look up but nothing specific to the phrase "don't necessarily".
