Goodnight & Good Luck: A 2020 End-of-Year Post

So, the year has come to an end. To me, it seems like just yesterday we were bidding farewell to 2019 and shooing in the top of 2020 with the ever-concurrent displays of fireworks and ball drops. To others, perhaps yourself, this year was the most long-winded chapter of their lives, thus far. Barel…

Monthly Wrap-Up: October 2020

Honestly, I don't know why I bother titling these wrap-ups "monthly wraps", when I clearly don't post them consistently. When I don't wrap-up a month, more often than not, its because there isn't really much to wrap-up. But September and October have been relatively fruitf…

Monthly Wrap-up: June 2019

I haven't done one of these in a while, and what better time to get back into the habit of wrapping up the month then at the advent of summer?

For a while now I've been reading multiple books at a time, which- if you're a long-time booksandtype reader, you know- is completely uncharacteristic of me. What's worse is that I've been "reading" two of them since the beginning of the year and haven't even gotten halfway through either of them- I'm referring to Lord of the Rings by Tolkien and Voyager by Diana Gabaldon. I'm ashamed to admit that out of the fifty books I'd pledged to read this year, I've only read two to three books from cover to cover. Luckily though, I followed one of the strategies I use to get myself out of a reading slump and am reading a series that I enjoyed as a wee teenager

Farewell 2018, Hello 2019! : Monthly Wrap-up/End of Year Post

So, another year has flown by. Strangely, 2018 has, simultaneously, been both uneventful and the most stressful year of my life. What with school, the uncertainty of my future, and the lack of motivation to do much of anything save for watching tv shows and Youtube videos. Instead of rehashing the…

Monthly Wrap-up: August & September 2018

Ah, the start of the new academic year accompanied by the reappearance of an old friend, Fall. For many, myself included, it marks a fresh start: a chance to prioritize for the upcoming year, remind yourself of the goals you set to accomplish and add any additional ones if necessary. With the comm…

Monthly Wrap-up: May & June 2018

I know this wrap-up is really late. June is half over, but I thought I should post it anyway. May marked the official end of my first year of graduate school, and boy, was it a long-awaited end! This has been the most difficult year for me- academically- to date. Honestly, it was for lack of tryin…

Monthly Wrap-up: April 2018

Good day, dear friends! I meant to write and publish this month's wrap-up yesterday, but you know, schooling. April was mostly non-eventful, and I have no complaints to make today with the exception of one: the weather. Is it just me, or has the weather we've been graced with in the month …

Farewell 2017, Welcome 2018! : Monthly Wrap-up/End of Year Post

Happy New Year, everyone! This post is certainly late, as we are already a few days into 2018, but I felt I had to publish it anyway. 2017 was a terrible reading year for me, I read less than twenty books. That's ridiculous! I pledge to read at least thirty books by the end of 2018. I've a…

Monthly Wrap-up: November 2017

November was a month of firsts for me. I had my first real emotional breakdown over an exam. I filled my gas tank manually, for the first time. And for the first time, I feel both optimistic and apprehensive about the future.
