2022 Review
Obligatory end of year post (coming tomorrow, Books I Read in 2022). It’s been a ride. I lost a friend when they moved away, but I’ve made several new ones. Started out the year by beginning my dissertation, submitted it in May, graduated in July and then kind of ground to a halt. Spent the…
