Well, for some reason my old blog was deleted because on my old account (this "khubax" account), Google detected some "suspicious activity", so who knows what happened... not that I had more than two or three posts on that blog anyway. I will play around with the layout to beautify it later.
So after moving from the Southwest to the Northeast, I have now moved to the Pacific Northwest, at least temporarily. I am currently living in The Dalles, Oregon, a city of about 12,500 about an hour and a half east of Portland. I'll be here for the next 6 months as one of the rotations in my current role and will be working on the Field Services team for a large wind farm about an hour from The Dalles.
Since my apartment-mate and I will have a lot of time to ourselves and don't know anybody in this area, I've thought of some personal goals during these six months.
1. Eat healthier - more fresh food, more home-cooking, self-control of one's diet (i.e. eat less)
2. Exercise a lot more - besides climbing wind turbines, planning to buy an entry-level road bike and ride around, ski a lot during the winter (partly in order to make the cost of a season pass at Mt. Hood worthwhile), and hike when the weather permits
3. Read more books - I think I will have much more time to sit down and enjoy some books. Hopefully.
4. Learn new things - signed up for some online courses about model-based thinking, learning Python, maybe see if the nearby community college offers anything interesting
5. Develop hobbies - I have not been doing anything really on the creative side since... middle school? So I want to do some art, have some fun, and do something not too stressful on my time off. I miss doing a lot of hands-on stuff
Hopefully I can update this blog every so often with things I've learned from the five goals above, since I am a noob at all of them.
