I apologize for the recent lack of activity, but my life has temporarily caught up to me.

I go for my driver's license test later today, so I've been practicing and studying for that like crazy (more to spite my father, who believes I'll never pass it, than out of actual want or need of a license). I've got two major papers due soon (one in HIS 104 and another in ENG 101) and I'm up to my eyes in math homework because I fell one day behind. (Oh lord, if you can avoid falling behind in MT150, DO SO). I've been working hard on the SE's so I can move on to the shotgun round stuff, but I find myself stuck on Part 3 (there are roughly five parts planned, but I might combine the last two) and on revising Part 2. My birthday is coming up and I've been trying to get my buddies together for that day, and as anyone knows, it's hard enough to organize your own schedule let alone three other people's. Weekends suck, and I find myself having to tune out everything during them more and more as management gets more and more demanding and less and less involved.

RB tells me that some of you are expressing concern about my absence, but I assure you I'm fine, just busy. I didn't mean to cause any worry.

I promise that, as soon ans things calm down a little, things will be on a roll again. In the meantime, make some SE's of your own and chat with your fellow competitors.
