First post!
Dec. 5th, 2018 03:46 pmHello world! I’m ms_minerva, and this is my first time properly blogging instead of just lurking on a site. Some of my goals now that I’ve graduated college and have this vast expanse of years and years stretching out before me are to make myself more cultured and well-read and to engage more fully with the world instead of just watching from the sidelines.
I’ve spent the past year and a half as a teaching assistant abroad in the Middle East and Asia and am now in grad school app purgatory. I hope to use this blog to jot down my thoughts on what I’m reading and where I’m traveling, and hopefully I’ll have the chance to meet other people who share my interests!
What I’ve read this past month: Things Fall Apart (Chinua Achebe), The Heart’s Invisible Furies (John Boyne), Hunger (Roxane Gay), Howl (Allen Ginsberg), assorted novellas
Where I’ve traveled this past month: Tokyo, Nikko, Kyoto, Osaka. I found a really cool secondhand clothes shop in Kyoto if anyone wants to hear about that!
