Zuri's Adventure Tracker

[Zuri]

Greetings,

This is my adventure tracker of my journey through continuous learning, relaxation, and professional development. The things that I share here are varied and are meant to assist me professionally (conservation), or are things that interest me (language, reading for fun, cooking etc). You won't find just one course mentioned here so it'll certainly be interesting for any who visit here. Ask questions, lurk, whatever works. One thing I'll try to always do is share where the materials I am studying with come from. As sometimes these are books I've bought at a used bookstore, or random sites I've found online based on interests.

I'll always try to follow the format in the About Tracking Your Progress notice here. There is also additional information there.
