study for and take the bloody GREs
i'll admit, they scare me 16 months ago

...but i should have taken them right after graduation, burnt out or not. now it’s 2 years since and i’m going to have to relearn my physics from first principles. ah well, ya gotta do what ya gotta do. it’s just going to be painful.



Get a tattoo (read all 3 entries…)
finally got it :) 2 years ago

Took a lot longer than expected (5 1/2 hours!), but got it done all at once by an incredibly talented artist and absolutely LOVE IT!

It’s actually quite a meditative experience even with the discomfort although I think you can’t fully appreciate what I mean unless you’ve gotten one yourself. And what I’ve heard is true (at least for me): although the thought of more than one hadn’t even entered my mind before this, I’m now thinking seriously about another…be forwarned, they’re addictive! :)



Boulder a V5
temporary setback... 2 years ago

...well I had just gotten comfortable with V3s and trying out V4s (didn’t fully send any though, unfortunately) when I got minor tendonitis in one elbow, and then moved to Japan! lol.

Although I did hunt down some fellow climbers, until I get a car I won’t be climbing anything other than my stairs every morning (buildings are made out of paper and wood here, so builderings out as well..bummer). Really happy about the progress I made in the last year, though, and it makes me confident that I can only improve.

Really miss the rock though, heh, don’t fully appreciate how addictive the sport is until you can’t climb anymore. :(
