¡Hola! Comment allez-vous? I’ve had a wonderfully multilingual first week back at school. A shortened week still felt packed with my coursework. I’m already planning ahead with my assignment due dates that I know will overlap in coming weeks.

The End is the Beginning is the End

Or ‘An Open Letter to Myself’

To You, As it May Concern:

We’re wrapping up Act Two of the Bootcamp and nearing the curtain call for Camp NaNo.

While I did not leap tall buildings in a single or even a dozen bounds, there was progress to be made and made it I did.
