Just finished reading the Great Gatsby and The End of Tsarist Russia, coming soon. Also getting GED prep! With everything in limbo it makes no sense to go through high school— what’s the point? I could educate myself with books, and I don’t want to sit on my hands.

Received a good bit of advice from chess. “The highest level is planning. If you can move from ‘reactionary’ to a ‘planning’ strategy, you’ll be much better off in life.”
