Hobbies
When I am not reading or writing essays, I enjoy creative writing, especially historical fiction and poetry. I have too many quote t-shirts that I like to pair with blazers (seems more adult that way, I guess) and scarves. A lot of English professors/academics wear scarves, so I adopted the trend. Turns out, it's partly for style but mostly for function: the English Department air conditioning is somehow always on in the winter, so we bundle up while teaching.
