ADEQUATE.

Last year roundup, uh...

- Started the year in England presenting at the British Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies Conference.
- Diagnosed with colon cancer, had 1/4th of my colon removed, some foods are still evidently a "cannot have" but I'm mostly back to normal.
- Taught all of my classes even with the above.
- Visited my parents in Arizona.

- Spent most of May - June recovering.
- Travelled back to Illinois for my grandma's 90th birthday party in July.
- Classes started again in August.
- I became the faculty chair of the University Curriculum Committee.

- The university's grand "we're doing a pay overhaul and we're promising we're going to improve people's pay" netted me a raise of 2.05%.
- I was asked to take over a study abroad in London with 6 weeks to prep for the experience before students had to sign up for it.
- Played a lot of D&D with friends in Jan-April. Less afterwards.

- I got back into the gym after not being able to work out because of my surgery, and that felt good.
- I realized that a lot of people were really concerned about me for my surgery, which was comforting.
- I went to London for the study abroad I am currently teaching, meaning I've spent my last two New Year's Days in England.

- I paid off my car in 2024.
- I read all of Clarissa in 2024.
