It's that time of year again. People are graduating from high school and college and they're moving out and they're joining the army and they're trying to get a job now the summer's here and whatnot. This is forcing a lot of people to take extended absences.
I am faced with a similar situation, albeit on a smaller scale. You see, over here in the UK, the school year starts and finishes about a month later on both ends in comparison to the rest of the world. That means I don't finish school - or at least finish my exams, as I'm on study leave at the moment - until the 25th of this month.
I've been studying and revising a lot recently, but now it's going to start taking precedence. My first exam is on Tuesday the 12th. My last is on the 25th, just over two weeks from now. With this in mind, I'm gonna let my activity on CotH take a dip for two weeks.
After that, though, provided I don't somehow manage to get a job (although I will be looking, regardless), I'm basically on a three month weekend until I start uni at the back end of September/beginning of October. Great success.
I'll still be on the forums, still be available for RP on request, and I might try and run a Harvest event or two (if I can't, I'm gonna be asking the guild's officers to run a couple in my stead). A lot is hanging on the headspace I'm in in these next two weeks, though, so I think taking a little step back from CotH is probably the smart thing.
TL;DR bbl two weeks when finals are finished o/
