Rock Climbing

I was recently introduced to Brooklyn Boulders and loved it! I felt happy like I do when I dance. Yay.

Top-roping is my favorite! The endurance test is great, and I love the feeling of just getting to let go and fall down.

Got an arrow right through the bullseye — I hit the dead center!

Volunteering

Writing/Blogging

I apparently wrote over 2,000 lines of poetry!

Learning a New Keyboard

I thought that learning to touch type was one of my greatest accomplishments as a kid. I felt so pleased. So one New Year’s Eve as I was bored, I decided I would learn Dvorak. I love knowing two keyboards.

MoMath

I work at the National Museum of Mathematics and love it! It reminds me of when I used to volunteer at the library. I enjoy getting to help people understand our exhibits and have fun all throughout the day.
