New year

pen Posted on January 18, 2026 by Scholar Nan

Long time no see! A few things have happened since my last update, let’s recap.

  • I went to great concerts. Seeing Dani Umpi and La Prohibida live again was amazing.
  • I finished the first year of my Master’s. I turned in 6 final papers, 2 more to go. New classes start next March. I still have no idea what I’m going to do for my thesis.
  • I turned 33. I’m now the age my parents were when they had me. That’s something that has been in the back of my head for a few years now. I don’t know what this means, I don’t know what to do with it.
  • I became obsessed with TWICE. After 10+ years of not listening to a single song of the group, I finally gave in and started stanning. My bias is Jihyo, of course. I bought an album and some merch and two dear friends gifted me two albums for my birthday.
  • I took some time off work. I took two weeks of PTO at the beginning of January. Today’s my last day off before returning to the office. I slept a lot, went out with friends a few times, had a few dates, nothing too flashy.

I’m Still Here

Long time no see! I know I haven’t been updating this as often as I’d like to. I think my problem was having to do it by hand only using code, so I’ve installed WP in order to make updating the site as easy as possible.
There are a few design quirks that I need to work on, and I also have to migrate the old pages. But I think I’ve done a pretty good job for someone who hadn’t made a wp theme in like a decade.

Regarding life… well, I’d rather not write much about it. Last month my dad had an accident and unfortunately passed away, so I’ve been dealing with that. Not only with the terrible loss, but also everything that comes with death – paperwork, sorting out his belonging, trying to figure out what to do his house, his business, so on and so forth.

One day at a time.

Oh, it has been a while! A lot has happened this past month.

Everything went great with the apartment inspection. I’m almost certain I’m getting my deposit back, I just need to wait a few weeks until the last utility bills are paid off. Fingers crossed. It’s not a lot of money, but I could really use it.

I went back to work after my holidays. It has been a bit hectic, but at this point, I’m just used to it. I got a raise, not as much as I expected, but it works.

Oh, I also started teaching! I’m a TA at my old university, teaching a class called ‘Fundamentals of Sociology’ to Psychology majors. I’m extremely nervous and I feel really challenged, but I found out I actually like teaching. Who’d have known?

Of course, this means I haven’t been gaming as much as I’d like to. I played a bit of Monster Hunter Wilds and it was entertaining. I like the sort of open worldness of the new installment, but it’s still a MH game at heart… and I always end up not finishing them. I also bought two games during the PS Store sale – NiER Automata, that I already have on PC but I wanted to play it on PS5, and the Silent Hill 2 Remake. I admit I haven’t even started that one yet, it scares me a bit. But hey, a deal is a deal.

Oh, yeah. I went to two concerts this week. I went to see Garbage on Tuesday, it was really good. I saw them live on 2017 and I was really looking forward to this show. Shirley is amazing. And last night I went to see one of Argentina’s greatest singers, Valeria Lynch. It was OUTSTANDING. If you like powerful songs and female voices, you should check her out.
