CURRENT MISSION

Teaching, studying, taking a break before grad school

ABOUT ME

I'm not very good at small talk but I'm laid back and friendly. I'm an academic (taking time off before starting Ph.D. studies) and I enjoy having conversations about literature, philosophy, etc. I recently wrote a thesis on William Gibson.

PHILOSOPHY

Confucius said, "Exemplary people understand matters of justice; small people understand matters of profit."
