30 Days of Learning: Day 7

Today I learned quite a bit about how thunderstorms, cyclones, and derechos form and how to identify their potential approach. I've technically finished that edx course now, since I'm only "auditing" them.

30 Days of Learning: Day 5

I pushed forward with the Backyard Meteorology edx course, learning more about different cloud formations. I took a meteorology class in high school, then forgot everything except for that vague deja-vu vibe.

30 Days of Learning: Day 2

Today, I painted more of the living room. I'm getting better at it with practice and copious "oops" moments, especially when Coco tries to help. I also finished the short edx course predictionx, where I learned about historical and modern divination rituals like bone burning and tarot.

Not doing much in the form of academic productivity, but I have walked quite a bit today and enjoyed the many views from Perugia. I’m so blessed to study here.
