There's no time left to conduct a proper written review.
Total time spent on focused Spanish learning was probably just above average, but a late start meant that most of the routine was abandoned to catch-up work.
So the key lesson, as almost always, is that I need to find the means to get going early after a full night's sleep. I suspect that other objectives might need to be temporally sacrificed.
