Schedule

Heyyy Cambridge!! My goal for this project is to stay organized, so I don’t fall behind. I made a calendar on Canva with the specific days I should post each blog entry. It’s more of an outline to keep me on track, and I’m going to try to follow it as closely as I can. I also created a weekly schedule that breaks down what I should be working on each week.
