hello there (bonus points if you can finish the quote!)~ i'm currently a first-year graduate student in the US, and i'm returning to pen-palling after a long while because... well... i'm shy and lonely :< as someone who's awkward with people, i'm looking for a bit of social connection while i get used to my program. i guess i'm supposed to say what my hobbies are? in my (very sparse) free time, i enjoy various means of escapism-- music, hiking, gaming, reading, sci-fi/fantasy, the usual nerdy go-tos. looking forward to connecting with you, whoever you are :)
