@Srtolar Yay for good grades. Do the rankings matter for anything, or are you just judging yourself against others?
I assume you mean the Tulane rather than Mercator Maritime Journal. Unless you are secretly a pirate.
I'm doing reasonably well. Currently working on a very short story (150-250 words) for a language training site, so as well as being a proper story it needs the structure and word choice to easy to translate into multiple languages but still complex enough to challenge a user.
