I guess my two hobbies besides, I love reading and writing. I love teaching. That kind of is an extension of my work. So that's a big part of who I am. One of my favorite things professionally that I do is each summer I do a summer program for rising high school seniors. It's aimed at first-generation college students. Ah. So I actually get to live in the dorms with these students.

I'm like their TA, their RA. I'm like basically their, you know, glorified babysitter. So I get to kind of help them transition to, you know, doing college level coursework. But at the same time, I have to like, you know, just be like the adult in the room and make sure they don't, they look both ways before they cross the street. So it's kind of one of the fun things I get to do.

I get to be really silly. I get to do like PowerPoint night with them. I have a fan favorite, Nicholas Cage PowerPoint.

I know. How old are these kids, by the way? They're 16, 17. So we got to keep them, you know, like, you know, fun and not crazy entertainment. Yeah, but when do you get to the fun part, Cooper?

Yeah. When... No, they get to design the PowerPoint. So they design a PowerPoint about some crazy topic they pick. And then we as the staff also design our own PowerPoints. So I designed one about how Nicolas Cage blew his fortune and they seem to like that one.

A series of very strange purchases, like a dinosaur skeleton that ended up being repossessed by Interpol, I think.

I live in DC. I'm in the final stage of my PhD program. So I am kind of like on the job market. So I'm like potentially moving anywhere in the country. So everything's kind of up in the air right now, but it's kind of a good position to be in because I don't really like, the choices are in some ways like out of my hands. So I'm kind of, you know, just kind of seeing where things go right now.
