School hasn’t even started yet and I’m already procrastinating (old habits die hard). Anyway, I’m trying to write up the results of my presentation for the AddHealth conference and instead of just plugging away, I did this: before: after: My roommate encouraged me to embrace the mistakes, it makes it look more authentic. nice.
