As this blog is going up, I am in my seventh week of working from home. This week marked the end of the state-wide stay at home orders, though they remain in effect in Denver, where I live, through the next week. My job itself is not planning on moving people back into the office … Continue reading The Flow of Time Under Quarantine
This week’s blog is a special one, for a totally random, arbitrary reason, because it is blog number 100! Well, sort of. If you were to look at the site stats, it would actually be listed at the 115th blog, but that would include the English versions of the blogs that were drafted originally in … Continue reading 100th Blog Special
(This blog is the English translation of this week’s primary blog, which was originally written in Spanish.) These blogs in Spanish are strange, but I think they’re important. I don't get much experience with Spanish output, because I always focus on reading and listening comprehension. I watch Netflix and YouTube, listen to podcasts, read books, … Continue reading My Lack of Practice in Spanish Output

My city’s extended the stay at home orders through April 26th in the hopes of flattening the curve, while my job has long since said that we’re working from home until May 15th at … Continue reading Not Feeling Like You’re Stuck in a Rut
I’m starting to develop a bit of a complex when it comes to writing this blog, because as the weekend hits and it’s time for me to get to drafting, I start panicking about what topics to cover. I still have plenty of things I want to cover for this blog when it’s appropriate, but … Continue reading Dealing With the Need to Change Plans
I’ve had some trouble figuring out how to go about blogging for this week. The last month or so of blogs have all been circling around the topic of the pandemic in some fashion, which I suppose is to be expected to some degree as it’s just everywhere, but it’s gotten to be too much … Continue reading Week Two of Staying at Home
So the last handful of blogs I’ve written for this project have been dancing around what’s currently happening in the world due to the fact that it has been impacting this project. That isn’t particularly surprising or anything, as this pandemic has impacted most people in some fashion, but there’s been a certain, specific tone … Continue reading Language Learning While Quarantined
(This blog is the English translation of this week’s primary blog, which was originally written in Spanish.) What a strange week, huh? There are strange things going on in the world right now and I feel kind of weird. This pandemic is no joke and I don't think that what’s happening is funny, but, well, … Continue reading The Obligatory Blog About the Coronavirus
(This blog entry is written in Spanish. There will be an English translation available tomorrow morning / Este blog está escrito en español.

Esta pandemia no … Continue reading El Blog Obligatorio Sobre el Coronavirus
