on my top 30 albums of all time
music has played a not insignificant part of my life for a while now. i am constantly seeking more spotify minutes and shifting and sifting through playlists. i keep a list of my favorite bands of all time, so i figured now was as good a time as any to try delineating my favorite albums.…

on life the past eight months
wow, this is a bit embarrassing! i can’t believe i let my thoughts sit in my head for so long! well, where should i begin? i guess chronologically makes sense. in november i had the pleasure of flying up to wisconsin to go to eric’s wedding with isabel. we had chipotle, went to dig and…

on hunstville solo camping
it’s been quite the long school year, so i had good reason to be looking forward to our fall break. in order to optimize my experience, i decided that a four night trip to hunstville state park would be just what i needed. i’ve had an itch to bust the tent out again and slum…

on the eau claire marathon
i love the eau claire marathon more than most things in life, even when it’s treated me poorly. in my eight years of running it, i have only had one (subjectively) good race. i was injured for a couple, did one virtual and completely couldn’t run for another, and slogged through some cramps in each…

on the 2023 staar test
tomorrow morning my students will take their staar test for my class, and i am at peace. i think that, overall, we used this year to the best of our ability and learned a wealth of information. now, that doesn’t necessarily mean that that information will be useful on the test, but i am happy…

on oblivion
i’m not scared of dying (not anymore, at least). and i don’t have much concern about being remembered past the duration of my life. it just isn’t that important to me. think of me akin to the sage hazel grace from The Fault in Our Stars. the lot that i hold in life is exactly…
