(As of March-May 2026)

Ongoing

• Teaching AP English – Finished strong. Learned more than my students did. Success rate of match between teaching style-to-student was 27%, I think. Might have been half my fault, ambitious self-declared reality-negotiator I am sometimes.
• Studying architecture + design – YES. This I grew in, with pain and struggle and strained nights. All worth it. Sketching and discipline are still tender points.
• Climbing rock walls – March-April, yes. May, not so much. Fingers and schedules were a bit strained.

Enjoying

• My new studio apartment – Damn, the peace within this space, even given its constant evolution! Lovely. I treat myself with warm lights, hard resting surfaces, and jazzy records.

Learning

• Go -…nope.
• ASL – A bit, but no.

Practicing

• Sketching – A little better. Slacked a lot.
• Drumming rudiments – Tiny bit.

Curating/Creating

• Summer writing workshops – Just wrapped up the first Sentence Writing one of the season. First Novel workshop going well – so much fun! SAT is a bit boring and tricky, but we’re all doing our best.
• PRIA projects – Gifted and thoughts about more pieces than I actually made.

Pondering

• Connections between the concrete and the abstract – This is a lifelong thought-project..

Thanksgiving

• Funky chairs and drafting tables – YAS
