i'm learning about building systems for my architecture licensure exams haha.
it's honestly so fun to make small talk with the construction workers in your neighborhood or the handy man in your building. like "hmm... you installing some control joints huh??" or "soooo.. gearless traction elevators huh.." and although i don't know as much as them it's fun to have a general idea on what's happening !!

I took a beginning carpentry class through the local community college, and it was one of the best educational experiences I've had! Look at this shed we built together on a farm in El Sobrante!
I learned about working with other people from all walks of life, made some new friends, and gained practical skills. (Also, I got OSHA certification and took a "math for the trades" class.) I'm excited to take residential plumbing and electrical next fall, and hopefully I'll gain enough skills to remodel my bathroom. :-)

Some mornings before heading to our office jobs, my neighbor drops by my apartment. I whip up some matcha lattes or other tea concoctions, then we set out to soak up the morning sun while admiring the unique architecture of our neighborhood. Sometimes, we team up to order groceries online and even take turns cooking dinner for each other. Tonight, I'm preparing a vegan bolognese, and last weekend, he gave me some peanut noodles. It's like having a friend on speed dial bahaha

took this picture in japan from my aunt's old apartment. i find it hard take random pictures in the US just because i don't think anything is special around me / i don't want to "waste" film. but when i'm in Japan it's so easy to find the beauty in the everyday environment.. even something as simple as people walking upstairs and a guy biking along a path...
