Unexpected progress towards getting into the Guard
I missed last week’s fitness update due to a lot of chaos going on in my life. And for that, I’m sorry. It turns out that dealing with all the minor details of getting the administrative work done is taxing for my brain and time. I’ve made it a point to announce that I had […]

So, you’ve got a master’s degree, now what?
