Greetings all!  I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and accomplished everything they hoped to this year!  The tail-end of 2013 has felt ridiculous fast to me.  Perhaps because I spent November in a NaNo-induced haze and a late Thanksgiving shortened the Christmas season?  IDK, but I somehow feel flabbergasted that New Year's Eve is already here.

I guess the only place to start with a true review of 2013 would be to go back and review the goals and plans I made for the year at the end of 2012:

Cut for long ramblings! )

Whew!  That was super long!  Anyway, onto goals and generic year-long plans.

January: Finish posting Heart Stone, finish and post Queen Kale.  Start Paleo eating.
February-August:  Work through How to Think Sideways.  Self-publish a flash fiction collection.  Take a bloody vacation somewhere (Anime Expo?)
September-December: NaNoWriMo prep for original story.  Start revisions from first novel.  Self-publish second flash fiction collection or short story collection.

Big goals: Follow paleo eating plan for three months, then evaluate.  Shift original fiction writing into gear.  Spend way, way less money on toys.

After going to bed at 3 (I've had only 10 hours of sleep in the last 48...T_T) this morning after finishing it, I was able to turn my final paper in for History of Ancient Rome today. And I tried to sell the two books back from that class, but they weren't taking them back, so it looks like my collection of Roman History books is growing whether I want it to (or have the space for it to!) or not.

So then I crashed for three hours this afternoon. XD Man it feels good to be done for the semester (though I'm sure by the time grades are released I'll just be depressed...my hopes aren't too high after such a difficult semester). So after grades are submitted we'll see if I've gotten into pharmacy school.

That leaves me with roughly three months to get my life in order. Which means I need to start working on "The List." (For those who don't know, every summer I make a one page list of things I want to accomplish/buy during that summer. The reverse side is my "book counter" to tally all the books I read over the summer - last summer I got up to 19 books...XD)

Some things I want to accomplish: Getting to the gym more (it's pitiful how little I've gone this semester), getting my Dragon Flyz website up and running, putting all my old home videos onto DVD (with menus!), learning piano, practicing my clarinet, and writing at least a little every day.

I start work next Monday (back to the Library!), and my brother's graduation is the Saturday after that, so I plan to relish these few days of absolutely no work. Maybe I'll play catch-up with my DVD collection.
