2012 is going to be pretty big, probably the biggest year of my life so far in fact…but I’ll come to why, a little bit later. I’ll start with my school-based targets and projects for the year ahead. The main projects that I am working on are all...

Well that’s been a pretty good year hasn’t it? I thought I should probably review it a bit before writing targets for next year. I don’t think this will be in any particular order but hey, it’s my blog, so I can choose the order 🙂 The year...
