and thank goodness! I was ready for this semester to be over a week ago if not sooner. But I still have 3 more assignments plus my leadership project to complete, and my boss had jury duty this week so my ability to get some school work done at work went to crap.

Now onto the bright side of things, my big bang is almost at 20k mark.



I didn't think that would happen, not with everything else going on.

After this semester my goals of things to do are:

- revise my big bang
- install Ruby and learn how to code!
- continue formatting stories
- start merging stories again
- test out embedding fonts into epub files.
- add stories to the Ebook Library.
- post recs more frequently
- read again! (and new stuff at that) with all my assignments I tried to stick to re-reading fic instead of reading newer stories because my self control is rather non-existent once I get into a story.

I think I'll stop there, these are the activities I truly enjoy and I don't want to put too much on my plate. (Okay I just realized my brain is scary if this is what I consider fun! except for the fic reading and stuff of course)

I also just realized that the Ebook Library is past 1000 stories which kind of amazes me when I think about it. :)

I've also concluded that at some point I'll phase out LRF as a format the site supports. The Ebook Library Poll results speak for themselves. Including myself, only 4 people actively use the format and technically they can also use Epub. Since I'm one of the 4 people using the format it's going to be hard to let go. My original plan was to wait for Sony to release a firmware upgrade that would fix the issues I currently have with how epub displays on the Sony PRS-505/600. However, I've been waiting over a year already and I'm not sure it's going to happen.

That's it for tonight, I think we'll catch up on Glee and watch SPN soon. It's probably good to take a break from the computer.

I've also been avoiding reading many SPN fics because I found it made writing my own SPN story more difficult so does anyone have any non-spn recs? I'm a fannish butterly so I'm easy when it comes to other fandoms and pairings.
