## Resource

It's time for my annual year in review post! I've been writing year-end review posts for a while. Here's 2024 , 2023 , 2022 , and 2021 . I'll say that this year feels different . I had a great year, due to various factors including luck, experience, working hard, and being willing to try new things. And at the same time, I'm aware that a lot of people in the language professions had a truly terrible year. My goal here isn't to rub it in , it's to give some examples of what's working for me, a few fails, and what I'm looking forward to this year.
