I hope everyone has been doing good and that these past few months have been well for you. Its been quite the trip for me, and I wanted to apologize for not being able to contribute these past few months like I was able to previously.
I was dealing with the possibility of receiving a life changing and potentially terminal cancer diagnosis. Simultaneously I was also dealing with the end of my semester and a plethora of exams, papers, and projects; along with job hunting to support myself these coming months. These left me with little time and energy to myself, and I wasn’t able to participate here.
Thankfully the tests for the diagnosis were false positives and the problem was instead very minor and has been dealt with. I also finished off my semester as strong as I could with perfect marks! Which has in turn allowed me to transfer from my small local college, to a much more prestigious university!
I did also want to apologize for leaving on a sour note, as while I did have a lot going on which led to my fuse being short, I still feel terrible about my previous exchange and have no excuse for it. If Maud Dibber is reading this, I would also wish to apologize to you directly and expressly.
Overall things have been going much better then before for me, and I look forward to contributing again!
It’s no problem at all, just glad to have you back. Congrats on getting into good school! I did the same local community college -> better school route. Glad things are looking up comrade.
Its been a rough past few years to the point that I was ready to give up if it weren’t for hope of things being better. These past 6 months have been a journey and I’ve come a long way, and I can now look towards the future with a determined happiness. Thank you for your kind words Maud.
The community college to good school process was also a trip and a half, but I made it through to the other side! Can’t wait to see where that takes me!
