Weekly Goals for Dead Week

This week is what is fondly known as 'dead week' during which students are supposed to have a break from the norm in preparation for finals.  In case anyone was wondering, PhD students don't get a dead week!  But before I get into this week's goals, let's see how last week's goals went.

Perhaps I set my goals for last week a bit high, but hey, I'm new at this weekly goals thing.  I don't think my goals for this week are more realistic than last week's, but maybe this week I'll be more productive!  Here's to hoping!
