2024................

[braintransplant]

keeping it simple. intentions for the year:

1. graduate in december!!!!!!!!! by any means necessary.
2. summer internship or seed potato lab employment for one last burst of resume bolstering.
3. climb v5 or get back to 5.11A top-rope level at LEAST.
4. read 12 books. i set this low at one book a month so that it is low pressure and my heart doesn't explode from stress. preferably i would like to read more books from non-american authors again!
5. save more money...........i shall aim for 25% of take home pay.
6. cook more often and more adventurously
7. maintain friendships! my 4 closest friends in bozeman will all have moved out of montana by the end of january. i do not intend to drift apart!!!
8. own less stuff. too much clutter = why i struggle to keep my apartment from becoming visually stressful
9. write more. fic or original - doesn't matter! i really miss the process of writing, and the fun of posting/getting feedback/discussing shit endlessly.
10. get back to juice-hunting. for those uninitiated to my twitter 6 years ago, when i lived in detroit i was dedicated to trying every juice i could find and hunting for the best version of each. i'm sure there's still tons of juices and fruit punches i have never tried...it was fun and stupid and we should all have at least one silly resolution :)
11. get job offer that makes moving back to detroit possible upon graduation. this is not realistic as agriculture/horticulture industry does not exist there outside cannabis which i pledged to never work in ever again so...belle isle conservancy please be hiring in december.
12. continue seeing every movie that comes out ever no matter how stupid. i have one of those cinema passes and i intend to keep abusing it

Very good luck with all of this! Fascinated in particular by the juice quest. Does this include eg restaurants that make squeezed juices?

[braintransplant]

Yes! I remember having some particularly heinous juices at a very highly regarded restaurant once. For a while I would focus on one type of juice (i.e. apple) and then try every brand/rendition of it I could get my hands on, decide the best one, and move on to another juice. A very idle hobby, but stupidly fun.

That reminds me of a plot point in Louise Erdrich’s *The Sentence*! The “soup tour” of Minneapolis. That’s a delightful hobby.
