What I'm doing now

Last updated: Sep 9 2024

Writing

I got laid off from my job which has afforded me a lot of time to start writing again.

Thinking

Particularly about where I want to live in 2025 and if I want to commit myself to a career.

Studying Spanish

I use a combination of Tandem, HelloTalk, ChatGPT, and spanishdictionary.com. Three Spanish teachers have told me that my current level is advanced-intermediate. My trips to Mexico and South America made me doubt that! My life kind of lacks structure right now, so I've been practicing less. I want to be fluent by 2026.

Learning

I'm curious. I want to soak up all the knowledge I can. Other than books, I love watching YouTube videos about everything I know nothing about. Lately, I'm most curious about world history.

Hobbies

Lifting weights, volleyball, hiking, writing, history podcasts/videos, watching standup comedy. Always trying new things too.
