Summary:
August has been a month to try and get through some more of my ARC backlog, and I don't think I've done too badly. Come September 7th, the term starts again, and I'm no longer a NQT so have a full timetable, and it'll likely impact on the amount of reading I can do.How have you done this month? Let me know below.
