bairnsidhe It's a bit belated, as yesterday was spent wandering the fairy hill that is IKEA looking for a new work desk for myself, but that's life for you! At any rate, welcome new year and the new people it will bring. I've got a few big goals for this year, and they may alter the format I'd previously used for my page, so I figured a nice Muse News post to clarify things was in order.
First of all, I plan to graduate in May with my BLA. That means that the eleven year struggle is almost over, and I'll be able to do non-college things for a while. It also means that until May, I'll be in a heightened stress state waiting for the other shoe to drop. Positives and negatives, but overall something I look forward to.
Given the May graduation, I've begun planning for my 'not a uni student anymore' life. The goals for that are to get a part time job and build up my resume, as well as do more original work. My fan fiction is a stress reliever, but it's not going to pay my bills, and original work might someday if I put enough practice in. To that end, I'll be using this page more, both as a repository for finished work, and as a planning/prompting/crowdfunding platform to expand my horizons. The Muse News tag will be getting an extra workout as well, and if you don't care for personal anecdotes and internal writer monologues, feel free to skip it.

>>Was the desk-quest successful?<<
It was! I picked out the desk, although I'm saving purchase for when I can get Life Partner's help moving boxes with his truck. I'm going with the Malm desk with pull out extension as a good compromise between wanting a corner desk to maximize space, and needing to be able to occasionally access a storage panel that's by the desk. The join between top and leg is a bit wobbly on the extension, which might have been a show-model problem, but I also know it's nothing that can't be remedied with some added L-brackets and liquid nails during construction.

Come to think of it, my desk before I left the Soawnfather also had slideouts - it was a VERY old desk, so it had slideout typewriter trays on both sides, as well as clevernslats to use as false backs in the drawers to create seekrit compartments.
