I just wanted to do a quick update on my 26 before 26. I’m only going to comment on the goals I’ve made progress on, rather than taking up a load of space with stuff I haven’t gotten to yet. I feel pretty good about this year, unlike last year, which was probably my annus horribilis.

Anyways, an update to my goals:

1. Hit a sweet throw or takedown in BJJ competition. I have hit a few takedowns, but I’m not sure if I’d call them sweet. I want to really toss someone!

2. Keep my nails maintained and well groomed. I’ve mostly managed to keep to this, though there are times when my nails look a bit messy.

3. Find meaningful employment. I’m working now as a research assistant on an interesting project, and applying for PhD studentships, so we’ll see how it goes.

10. Visit 26 new places/towns/cities. I’m not sure how to qualify this, to be honest, because I may have visited new places (i.e. places where there were tournaments), but I didn’t visit them specifically because of this goal.
11. Cull and curate my wardrobe. I have been sorting clothes out as I wash them. I’m not sure how it’s going, to be honest. I may still look a wreck.

12. Find my camera and start taking more bird photos again. I found my camera, and I have taken some bird photos, but none I’d like to share yet.

 

13.  Improve my wrasslin’ and grappling. I feel like I have improved, even if I have a long way to go. My coach says that I’m definitely doing better, especially with my aggression.

14. Do a handstand. I’ve kind of vaguely started on this. I found a good guide (I think) and I’m going to work on the mobility parts of it before I attempt the handstand. Hopefully it will help with my (admittedly terrible) shoulder flexibility too.

16. Finish three games on my Steam account that I haven’t played. I’ve actually already finished this by completing the Blackwell series, which I’ll post about in the future. I’m going to continue to try to finish games, though. I will probably do a Games I have recently played post soon.

17. Get into the PhD program of my choice. I have received some positive feedback, but I still need to apply, obviously.

20. Write a novel. I’ve continued to write bits and pieces here and there, but nothing really concrete.

21. Publish two or three more papers. I have several drafts, so this is going well.

25. Post on this blog at least once a week. Just about managed this, though recently I’ve had more posts, since I draft and work on them when I take breaks, so often each post will go through a number of drafts. Working on them in ten minute increments is helpful.

hi friends sorry if i randomly burst into tears or something like it’s not awkward whatevs
