A Letter From Exile: Explaining My Prolonged Absence
Hey there everyone, it's Gimpy. I just wanted to check in and convince everyone that I am still alive (the cake is a lie though). I'm treating this like a letter from exile because at the moment, it sort of is. I had to pick up a 7th class this semester. I'm now on campus between 9 and 11 hours everyday of the week except Friday, I'm working weekends also.
But wait...THERE'S MORE!!! A week or so into the semester my home laptop decided that it wanted to spend over 4 hours repairing it's disk and attempting to recover files. It still works, but as a safety measure, I am only turning it on when I absolutely have to. Fortunately, it decided to mess up THE DAY AFTER my surface RT tablet showed up in the mail, so I can still get my school work done. However I cannot fly, use teamspeak, or listen to the several hundred dollars worth of music on my laptop...
For the above reasons, I will not be around for quite a long time. June/July maybe, as I've decided that since I now have ample reason to build a new PC, I will. But that is going to take time, and a lot of money. Since I'm a college student working part-time, the money part is presently the largest hurdle. Unless the magical, mystical, mythical "Monetary Fairy" decides to grace me with her presence (and about a grand and a half), I'm gonna be a ghost. Hopefully the cool kind of ghost that you all tell cool stories about to the newbies.
On a positive note, so far I seem to be doing exceptionally well in my coursework. I have my first major astronomy exam tomorrow, and I'm appropriately terrified, but I'm doing very well otherwise. I'm even going to visit the maritime academy I'm trying to transfer to soon! Above all, I'm healthy, things are working like they usually do, and the weather ain't half bad. With a bit of luck, and an exuberant amount of patience, I will be flying with you all again soon. Maybe I'll go get a bluetooth headset and buy the TS app too.
Sincerely,
-Gimpy
