I know, I know, I haven't been around much lately anyway, but that'll change in a month, I promise.
Ya'll, a word of advice: when you become a graduate student, keep in mind that your time suddenly belongs to someone else. In fact, the word 'graduate student' is just the scholarly way of saying 'slave'.
With that in mind, I'm going to put myself on hiatus until after I defend for my master's degree. I'm trying, I really am, but making time for the next three weeks is just not going to happen. I've a wedding to go to this weekend and next weekend, a seminar-competition next week, a thesis to finish within the next two weeks, the Journal of Animal Science Western Section meeting to go in two weeks (where I have to present my research to a whole half of the nation's animal researchers and compete against other graduate students), and then...July 3rd...I defend. I'm scared ya'll and therefore cannot have any distractions.
July 4th is out of the question of being on. I'll be too busy seeing the Transformers movie and drinking away all the stress of the past two years. Hopefully the drinking won't involve being sad to, because it would suck if I failed my defense after all this hard work.
I apologize to everyone that I owe RP to and promise to pick ya up as soon as I can. July is the beginning of my freedom.
I've TPs - or plots, at least - in mind for the future, so don't count me gone yet.
I've crossposted this at the only three places I play at, but if I missed someone, can ya'll let them know I haven't disappeared? I'd appreciate it.
M'alts here are Siangamika, Raiyan, Mercutio, Hyacinthe, and Tristis.
