-Well, I did it. I graduated! Actually, it's been about 2 months since I've graduated. It's a different experience than my undergrad graduation. 
+It's almost March! I'm having a pretty lovely start to the year. Much better than the end of 2023... 
 
-I'm spending most of my days now applying for jobs. It has been a TOUGH search, to be honest. I'll keep it light here and will note that I've stumbled upon some roles that really ignite excitement. Based off of some of these, I had ChatGPT write me a job description which was kinda fun.
+I started running this year. My goal was to run a 5k without stopping and I'm happy to say I have done it! I had obviously heard of benefits but sticking with this fitness routine has drastically improved my quality of life. I hope to maintain it :)

+We're moving back to the Northeast! I am sad to say goodbye to Dallas. So many good friends and memories here. One more month to soak it up here.

+I am also SO excited to be closer to my family and friends!! And NATURE.

+I fell off maintaining this site near the end of last year. Which is a bummer because I really do feel excited about this concept and growing this site as my personal digital garden. I am getting caught up in a perfectionistic mindset. 2024 me - let's break out of that!!

-#### TL;DR: Graduated, looking for jobs. Still in Dallas, trying to soak up the spooky season 🎃

 ##### 🙋🏽‍♀️ Questions on my mind 🤔 : 
-- [[How do you design for choice?]]
-- [[How do you design for trust?]]
-- In the culture today where every other headline is populated with talk of generative AI, how are people finding value on less technically advanced tools (ie. notebooks - Bullet Journal)? ([[When tech sucks]])
-- What might be the effect on culture and our brains if generative AI stays behind the hype? 
+- Why does your mind feel better when you workout?
+- Why do we not want to say we've used AI when it's prevalent everywhere? 
+- How can I connect back with this site and grow my "thought garden"?
