Hi, readers! (I do still have some of those here, right?) I wanted to let you all know that I’m still alive and well, and that I’ve not decided to up and stop blogging all at once. It’s definitely something I want to continue doing, and will continue doing. So, what gives? Why have the posts been sporadic lately, and what’s with the increasingly large time gaps? Basically, I’m whipped, busy putting out fires here and there on class assignments, and at the end of the day, I don’t have much energy (or will, to be honest) to write more.
This semester is proving to be more difficult than the last one, or at least more time consuming. I’m not struggling with any of the course content, there’s just so much course content to take in. I feel like I’m running on a treadmill, and if I try to take a break, I’ll just slip off into the abyss (or at least, my GPA will drop like a sack of rocks). I don’t want to drop into the abyss, and I really don’t want my GPA to drop like a sack of rocks. I know it’s “just a number”, but it’s a number I’ve worked hard on keeping where it is now. And so, I guess for now, I have to just keep running.
So, despite metric tons of assigned reading and schoolwork, System 13 isn’t going anywhere. Expect posts to continue to be a little sporadic for a while, but expect them nonetheless. If no new posts disappear for say, a month, it’s more likely that I’ve been abducted by aliens, rather than I’ve given up blogging.
I’m getting ready to go to a board meeting for the Viking boat group I’m in. The meeting is a few hours away, and with travel time plus meeting time factored in, I probably won’t be home until this evening, so certainly, I won’t be writing anymore today. So, I’ll leave you with this: MacroHistory. Lots and lots of history articles, spanning everything from the Stone Age to the present. There are maps and timelines, too. Enjoy!
