So. We meet again, you and I, after all this time.
I have been gone far, far too long. Logging in was like a warm wave of nostalgia washing over me.
School ate my life. And my brain, and my soul, and also like three water bottles and a keychain that I will never see again in this life or the next. It will probably consume more. It is a gaping maw that feeds on money, time, and stress hormones, and spits back only terror of the future, exhaustion, and somehow even more stress hormones. And possibly some educational information I'll need for my career, I don't know, that's the rumor.
The bits in between studying have been kind of a downer, too, so that's been lousy. I can't guarantee I won't vanish for more stretches of time in the future. Soon, I will be called to do battle against exams again, and they are a formidable foe.
But! I am happy to be back. I have missed you all far more than can be appropriately expressed in a public forum. All of you. Even the ones I haven't met yet. ALL.
