October 2025: I have officially finished writing my dissertation, defended it, and submitted it to the university as of August – I now have a doctorate! I’m taking a few months to relax and play all the video games I haven’t had time for over the past year while I slowly dip my toes into the job market.
Reading: Monsters: A Fan’s Dilemma – Claire Dederer; Annihilation – Jeff Vandermeer
Playing: Hades 2 (Nintendo Switch 2); Strange Antiquities (PC), Balatro (mobile)
Watching: Playoff baseball! (My team is the Seattle Mariners)
Listening: Tedeschi Trucks Band – I Am the Moon
