An actual explanation.

Hey guys,

I know I post a message like, every week but I thought I owed a proper explanation for my MIA behavior lately. Mostly, it's been the amount of uni work but it's also been a few other things keeping me from being able to post or be around on chat much.

Firstly, I'm currently involved in a situation relating to professional misconduct at my university - don't worry! I haven't done anything wrong. It's essentially a grade-wide complaint against a professor and so, I've been back and forward to meetings and fun bureaucracy stuff. It's pretty time consuming in itself but on top of it, I live a two-hour round trip away from my campus/the city, so that adds even more time onto otherwise long days.

Because of the above, I've also been having really bad anxiety issues. Last week, I had a pretty significant break in class and ended up breaking down thanks to these symptoms (I get anxious to the point of tunnel vision/word salad etc). So, I've been trying to keep a handle on that while trying to do the activity that causes it -- speaking publicly and confronting. As you can imagine, my brain is pretty much a mashed potato at the end of each week.

Soooo bad news, really! As much as I want to write, and I have so much muse, I'm usually just too tired or drowning beneath uni work by the end of each day. However! Some good news is that we've been given some extensions for our assessments and things regarding our complaints are beginning to slow down. As such, I should be able to get back into posting at least two days a week. I'm also going to start trying to save posts onto my phone and doing replies in transit. I really miss being able to write because it was the best way to keep myself from stressing out so I'm making an active effort to fit it into my week as if it were a subject too.

Overall, I'm really sorry for all the waiting and the forgetting and whatnot. I'm going to begin making more efforts but yeah, I thought I owed a good explanation since I've been so MIA. I hope you guys understand but I should be back in fighting form in no time. After all, we only have another 5 weeks of university left! And then I'll have three months of holidays :)
