Right now, I'm...

* As of 2 hours ago, done with my final exam of the 24/25 academic year after what has, to date, been the worst exam period I've had the displeasure of encountering.
* I'm glad it's over, and ready to start the summer (and deal with that resit, maybe two of them)
* ... and deal with all the bits of live admin I've been neglecting!
  * The other day I started an email with "Sorry for taking a moment to respond to your email, exams have been taking up almost all of my brain space and working out when I'm going to do a food shop has taken up the left over bit." which I think sums things up well
* Excited to get on with all the projects I've been putting off, too!
* Listening to the likes of [White Denim](https://www.last.fm/music/White+Denim), [Keane](https://www.last.fm/music/Pearl+Jam), [U2](https://www.last.fm/music/U2), [Spock's Beard](https://www.last.fm/music/Spock%27s+Beard) and [Aberdeen](https://www.last.fm/music/Aberdeen).
  * Lots of this is throwback comfort music

In the slightly longer term, I'm...

* Very eager to do lots of bouldering and work on improving my skills there
* Working part-time, and preparing for an internship in the summer
* Aiming to publish 12 [posts](/blog) in 2025
	* 11 completed so far, so I've basically done it at this point considering I have at least 3 more ideas about things to write about
	* Compared to 2024, where I published 9 total, we're well ahead
