Espero … Continue reading Una Comienza Fresca (y Podrida)
We’re officially in 2021 now, and while things don’t feel all that much different, I’m choosing to look forward optimistically and hope for this to be a better year. A lot has changed since the last of these year-start blogs I wrote, with my life overall improving despite other difficulties presenting themselves. This is when … Continue reading Yearly Theme for 2021
(This blog is the English translation of this week’s primary blog, which was originally written in Spanish.) I can hardly believe that this year is going to end in a few weeks. In some ways, this year felt like a hundred years, and in others, it felt like a month or two. I can hardly … Continue reading Goodbye, Stank Year!
I’m so done with this year. I’m sure that’s a sentiment I share with most people at this point, and I know it’s stupid and short-sighted to think that the arbitrary dates on the calendar really have much to do with anything. With November behind us, we have one remaining month to go before 2020 … Continue reading Revisiting 2020’s Yearly Theme
(This blog is the English translation of this week’s primary blog, which was originally written in Spanish.) This week was weird. My work was busy, at least busier than it usually is, and I was stressed and sleepy. Very sleepy. The one-day weekend didn't help either.

Mucho sueño. … Continue reading Un Blog Sobre las Transiciones…de unas Formas

Over the weekend, The … Continue reading Language Learning With Split Attention
(This blog is the English translation of this week’s primary blog, which was originally written in Spanish.) This week I should be blogging about something and unfortunately I don't think I have much to say. I haven't done much this month, not with my Spanish studies nor anything else. Most years I love October. The … Continue reading A Depressing October
(This blog entry is written in Spanish. There will be an English translation available tomorrow morning / Este blog está escrito en español. Habrá una traducción de inglés disponible mañana por la mañana.) Esta semana debería escribir un blog con algún tema y, desafortunadamente, no creo que tengo mucho que decir. No he hecho mucho … Continue reading Un Octubre Deprimente
Throughout September I’ve managed to have a few shakeups in my learning schedule, thanks in large part to my work schedule becoming more accommodating to me squeezing out a bit more reading throughout the day, which let me shift back to my preferred blend during the week for reading and watching time. Another shakeup that’s … Continue reading Setting Toki Pona Aside
