The title states the whole purpose of this thread, so if that's all you want to know, that's all you need to read. But if you're nosy (like myself) and like to know why people vanish for months at a time (like myself), well, you're in luck.
I am a senior in college, and my major is Elementary Education. And, as a result, the next six months of my life will be devoured by a giant ball of time-eating fire known as Student Teaching. I have been told to expect anything from nervous breakdowns, month-long bouts of strep throat, getting up at five am after going to bed at three am, and any other variation of the above. I will be spending three weeks before Christmas (starting tomorrow morning, actually) with 2nd graders, and fifteen weeks after New Year's with 4th graders.
I'm actually pretty excited about the whole deal, but with the...somewhat pessimistic precautions of my peers and predecessors, I am making a preemptive strike on my free-time and paring down on the time-sinks. I'm one of those freaks that had to officially tell game sites when I am going to be Gone For Prolonged Periods of Time, so...consider yourselves told.
I will see y'all in May, don't blow up the site while I'm gone, I'm curious to see what you'll have after six months.
Later, gators.
