What am I doing right now?
Teaching

Research
📋 Finalizing my tenure portfolio.

Personal
📘 Reading Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn: The Hero of Ages and listening to R. F. Kuang’s Babel.
🎶 Thinking about what new organ music to prepare now that I’ve played this piece in church.

🧩 Toying around with a 5x5 Rubik’s cube for the first time since high school and waiting for a new 7x7 to come in the mail!
