ABOUT ME

Trying to adapt to studying again after three years of running up and down stairs. Trying to get the most out of the courses, and to procrastinate productively when I fail.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to not live by proverbs, though there a few good ones for sure. Guess I don't have much of fully formed philosophy, just a big mess of more and less substantial ideas.

Teach, Learn, Share
