hawkwing_lb | February Goals

February 28th summation:

The wheels kind of came off in the final stages of PhD finishing. I informed everyone for whom I do work that I was unlikely to submit anything before April, and received an all-clear: but my brain is at this point broken for the purposes of anything other than housework, filing, and playing with the cat.

I really should get those blood tests soon, though.

1a. Complete second full pass
1b. Submit
