I was thinking that Trump's suggestion that Veteran's Day be renamed to just commemorate how we won WWI just doesn't seem as patriotic and also seems like historical revisionism.

I finally started working on improving math skills yesterday on Khan Academy and it was fun. Khan Academy
learning materials are so much more professionally planned and helpful than classroom textbooks.

After looking at the research regarding how more than 35 hours of free time is unnecessary for optimum joy weekly I think I should never fully retire.

I've decided to start building qualifications for being a solid candidate to Yale or Princeton since those universities offer the only two fully funded masters degrees for my advancement in the country for everyone admitted with financial need.

I love salt in food and I love salty humorous wit.

I'm really intrigued by the Columbia University
program encouraging social entrepreneurship of sustainable development NGOs but I'm concerned that might not be a practical path since there's limited funding available for that field.

Feeling less overwhelmed by math requirements for a career change now that I see higher levels of college math are unnecessary for entry level work and that I at least have elementary school level math down.

Relieved that I am not moving to rural Hawaii in upcoming years and that I can continue to live with family support through a career change.

I was watching an EdX lecture discuss how the US lags behind other high income countries in socioeconomic mobility. But I was pleasantly surprised to see that the US offers enough opportunity to count as another high income country by not lagging more.

It's amazing to me that community colleges exist across the country that are prestigious enough to help randos develop high qualifications for the best graduate programs in some cases.

Time to stop procrastinating this coming Monday

When a new yummy edition of Coke Zero comes out it makes my day

Did all my weekly exercise for a couple of hours this morning and afternoon

I failed to learn math in the past because I failed to do the research needed to learn the underlying rules for why I was not doing things properly and put them in notes. Past teachers, professors, and tutors also failed to explain why it was wrong. I can be self taught.

Officially done with holiday shopping.

Happy Veterans Day to those who truly put their lives on the line to serve this country and perhaps the world.

It seems really unpatriotic of my veteran uncle to insist on being celebrated in his old military uniform picture when he openly admitted to me that he entered military service to brag about it not expecting to take risks or make sacrifices because it was peace time.

Most of my Christmas shopping is done and I wrapped my first gift.

Because I have always listened to a lot of Motown hits, I sometimes have flashbacks to this concert I watched of a Yale Motown Acapella group that was touring. That's what made me finally understand why crushes on performers people know nothing about are a thing.

Took a Lyft today because this disabled woman who forgets to shower was making the bus trip intolerable for me and the next bus would be an hour later.

I live in this annoyingly bougie area that makes me feel uncomfortable by reminding me of what it is like to miss out on a better sense of community and the values of down to earth people so I have been wasting time by escaping the neighborhood as much as possible.

I'm working full time starting the new year unless I need to take time off to accommodate how my mom might need to sleep in because of her graduate school schedule.
November 7, 2025 at 9:06 PM
I just realized I need to start working full time or close to full time ASAP so I'm not going to have as much time as I planned for training myself for a career switch yet.
