Hah! I just wrote a final few paragraphs to something I've been working on for years that I think makes a really good/powerful statement. Feeling pleased. Even if my back is sore from sitting in this chair too long. #AcademicSky

Último día del periodo vacacional. ¡Vaya que hacía falta, qué bien cayó! Ya listo para iniciar el siguiente ciclo en el que estaré menos disperso, en el que tendré objetivos muy precisos como mandar a dictamen dos libros en el primer semestre.
