+### Week 12: the End
+
+I've completed the study plan, and I'm very pleased with how it's gone.
+I'll be starting a new one tomorrow.
+I've also planned out a (5-week, to be reassessed and repeated after
+that) study plan for my Spanish learning, to emphasize how pleased I've
+been with this approach.
+
+I've gotten a lot better at chess, if not at blitz time controls, over
+these twelve weeks.
+Rating-wise, I've gone from 429 (or 508 after the first week) to 1023
+in Chess.com Rapid rating.
+Blitz has fallen from 686 after that good first week (before which I
+had not played any blitz) to 588, so it feels safe to say I haven't
+really improved at fast time controls;
+I still struggle to play quickly and not get into time pressure, and
+sometimes make horrific blunders due to trying to play quickly.
+I hadn't been tracking the progress of my daily rating, but I'm
+certainly also doing well at that.
+My daily rating was something like 326 at the start, and is now 1053.
+I've only lost a single daily game out of 30 I've played in that time.
+
+The books the study plan recommended have been very helpful, as has it
+just forcing me to play regularly.
+It is also true that the "extra-curricular" studies I've gotten up to
+have certainly contributed to my improvement, though they probably
+wouldn't have helped nearly as much without the opportunities to
+integrate them through actual play.
+As well, I suspect the study plan helped to ensure I maintained focus
+on improving at chess.
+
+Tomorrow I'll start with one of their intermediate plans. :)
