So I’ve been a bit busy lately, as you may have gathered. In the last few months I’ve had a lot of personal stuff going on, including the passing of a close family member, but it hasn’t all been sad. I’ve also been writing for PopOptiq.com, a pretty rad site with some great writers that…

So it’s been a good while since I’ve made an update, and I apologize for that. In the last few months, school has gone from interesting to abysmal, and most of my free time has been devoted to language study. When I first went to college over a decade ago, it was with the desire…
