I've been a member for some time now. I have also found every reason to avoid the collapse and begin writing ...something. But here goes nothing.

Quite a lot has happened in my life of late. Since this year began at Michigan State, I can't help but become impatient. Three years in with two more to go, and then I can finally say I 'Graduated'. By that time I'll have a bachelors in science I will do nothing more with that go back to school, probably at state, increase my debt load and then...maybe I can jump into the real world.

This semester hasn't really gone as anticipated, but that is alright. There's little to hold me back now that - after 8 months - I remembered my reason for coming here in the first place. My hopes remain that I won't forget again before I finish this mission - of sorts.

For now, I guess, I am content. This last Tuesday - for those interested - my uncle passed away. This is the first time I've felt so...conflicted about returning home for the summer. One place I always want to go, but now I won't see the person who I always look for. A strange feeling but I'll get used to it...eventually.

Furcadia friends: I cannot apologize enough for being AWOL. I miss all of you, but - as I've told a few people already - I don't want to come back 'halfway' just to up and go missing for another 4 months. Forgive my motive but as of last Friday I have disallowed myself to do anything halfway. There's just too much burdening my shoulders, and you know it's bad when the baggage isn't even mine. I hope everyone is well. And I'll be back soon - assuming wireless comes back consistently.
