I'd say I was pretty successful. I graduated with Honors and the highest average grade of my year and had an amazeballs road trip to Sweden with friends. I went running for a few months, then changed gears to powerlifting until I moved to a new uni and didn't have time for sports anymore. I still eat and feel pretty healthy though.

This year I read more books than the years before it combined - 22 according to Audible. Didn't read a lot of regular books though, but hey, I read a ton so I'm happy.

Only thing I really didn't achieve was to make enough blog posts. I wrote a lot, but it was all for assignments / essays / theses.

It didn't occur to me to check Audible to see how many books I read. 27 on Audible, and another 7 on kindle. Dayum.

If I had to drive through LA all the time I'd burn through books faster than Guy Montag.

Well, I mostly biked and rode the motorcycle. In 7 years in LA my car accumulated 15,000 miles... And that includes 6k worth of travel between seattle and LA.

Biking can be just as good for audio for me! My previous commute was like 15-20 minutes with little to no traffic. Usually enough to knock out a chapter.

Speaking of, how's that car holding up? Thought about a replacement yet?

Car's holding up great. I have neither the finances nor the inclination to do anything with it right now.
