== Keep a Diary?  Come On, Man ==


The med clone brains insisted.  They tell me that recording my thoughts like this somehow helps with the process.  I've already died a couple of times, and I hate dropping into a new clone.  I get violently ill for days afterwards.  They assure me the newest clones don't have that issue, just so long as I write in my little diary here.  Yeah, right.  It isn't like the clones will ever come with any sort of money back guarantee.  Well, whatever, maybe it'll help, here goes.

Frustrated with excessive travel times, Josh mercilessly contracted his business domain to within Gallente space only.  Many workers were fired as Josh's offices in the other empires were either closed or abandoned outright.

== Feats ==
*Frigates
**New World Noobs on Patrol [[fleet]] operations
**[[Low-Sec_Camp]] [[fleet]] operations
**Level 1 security [[missions]]
**[[Exploration]] (Of course, only for scanning down sites.  I'm not yet comfortable with running sites.)
**[[Scouting]] for [[fleet]] operations (I'm still rather new to this, too.)
== Goals ==
=== Short Term ===
Training
*Train the [[Wreathe]].
*Deepen my training in [[Destroyer]] and [[Cruiser]] skills (including appropriate support skills).
*Deepen my skill with [[Drones]].
Career
*Shut down planetary interaction operations in Amarr Empire.
*Start up planetary interaction operations in Gallente Empire.
*Run level 4 distribution and security [[missions]] with Freedom Extension.
*Increase the frequency with which I join up with corporation mates for the varied fleet operations.
=== Long Term ===
*Run [[incursions]].
*Return to deepening my [[Frigate]] skills.
*Train [[Battlecruiser]]s, [[Battleships]], and Carriers.
== Pilot's Log ==
With this section, I'm just going to try documenting my thoughts from recent game sessions.  This will probably be more utility and reference for me than anything else.
=== October 2012 ===
I've been fairly busy this month.  I've been in the University for 4 months now, and I'm actually now contributing to questions other new pilots have.  I still have a lot to learn, but it feels like i'm transitioning from complete newb to some other creature.  So, that's probably a good thing.
==== Week 4 ====
*Did a bunch of work for Freedom Extensions (working on my standings with them).
*Wrapped up a personal, ratherlucrative mining campaign.
*Took my first, clumsy steps with planetary interaction.  I learned a lot, though.
*Implemented my newest trading strategy.  I buy favorite items region wide.  I then sell them in place at fairly solid markups.  So far, so good.
*Made good progress on Blockade Runner skill training.
=== November 2012 ===
November has been good to me. I've put many miles on my new Prowler.  She's made me some nice isk.  My Prowler has enabled me to run cargo with a level of security not previously possible.
Cross and I got blapped in Low Sec, but I think that was 2 or 3 weeks ago.  So, I guess you'd call that ancient history.  The mistakes were obvious and stupid.  At least it was a pirate, and not a rat.
Oh, I did lose a Retreiver to some rats prior to the pirate action.  The barge incident was just as preventable, regrettably.
Otherwise, I'm now fairly proficient at bookmarking and hauling.
I've set my sights on the Rokh.
