ABOUT ME
Long time since an update here. Finished my PhD and am teaching economics at the University of Miami.
Trying to bring my stress levels down, hehe. I usually think too much... How do I prepare for the future and live in the present? How do I avoid being hypocritical or too selfish and be a good but happy person? It seems the older I get the more unanswered questions I have. Well, so much for avoiding rambling. Anyway, before coming back to school I was in Japan for a while teaching English (shudderâ
PHILOSOPHY
I think that I have something inside me that doesn't want me to be able to feel satisfied with a normal life, whatever a "normal" life is. (issues? possibly...)
I hope that no matter what I am doing I can maintain an open mind. I never want to stop learning or thinking.
