Got a new job teaching gymnastics and it inspires me to see kids training so hard and at a much higher level than I'm used to seeing or being. It makes me just want to train hard and acquire a bunch of gymnastics strength skills.

I'm preparing myself for grad school stuff. It's a long way off but I'm set on my path right now and I know generally what I need to do to get where I want to be. For philosophy in particular I'm realizing that I need to understand complicated arguments for several different sides of any given topic. I think when I stopped studying philosophy officially after my undergraduate degree, I would read about different topics/arguments but with a mind to discard bad reasoning. So as soon as I would see a misstep in the logic of something, I wouldn't bother with it. Instead I need to have a more exploratory mindset with every view I come across so I can map out the philosophical landscape. Lately it has been all about political philosophy which is something I avoided altogether. I'm excited to explore things much more now. Switches are flipping in my brain and it is a good thing.

As far as training is concerned it has been mostly full of
Hangs
L sits
One arm lock off training
A bit of climbing
Some tumbling
Handstands/press training
And pk!
