What I’m writing, what I’m reading, what I’m learning, and other stuff I do.

Writing…
• a thesis on Joseph Conrad

Reading…
• Lord Jim, by Joseph Conrad (1900)
• Being and Time, by Martin Heidegger (1927)
• After Time: Narrative, Fiction, and the Philosophy of Time, by Mark Currie (2007)
• A History of the English-Speaking Peoples, by Winston Churchill (1956)

Study…
• Red Kalinka, an online Russian course
• Anki flashcards, for vocabulary building
• two university courses: 1) the concept of “Western Literature” and 2) the reception of Shakespeare in British Lit.

Living better…
• Meditation. Most days I follow 10-20 minute guided meditations from the Waking Up app.
• Long walks. I often take my toddler son on a walk during his afternoon nap, usually for 1-1/2 to 2 hours. I like to listen to an audiobook or lecture.

Aspirations…
• Get up early and not waste time. I’d like to go back to 4:25.
• Get back to writing, especially a regular blog.
• Start a workout regime, weights and HIIT cardio/abs on alternate days.
• Eliminate junk food.
• Start an active vocabulary development plan.
