Me trying to remember how to be productive after the holiday break. One step at a time.

I'll relax once I submit this paper. I'll relax once I submit my thesis. I'll relax once I defend my thesis. I'll relax after I get a post-doc. Damn! I guess I'll have to relax after I get a permanent position. No. The future always gets busier. Schedule proper breaks NOW. 💛

Marine Science technician position available at MLML!
