Finals Season - FD Slow Phase

[Lost Digi Girl]

I am going insane.

I know there's some of you who may be new, don't know everything yet, or maybe just random viewers. I'm currently a Phase 2 Student Teacher, in a 1st grade classroom, with major solo teaching days coming up next week. I'm also in TaeKwonDo, and testing for Blackbelt in June. And, general FD note, me, Pika, and Clinton are going to Fanime from May 23 to 26, so we won't be availible. Kat will also be there. (woot!!!) I make costumes for the anime conventions.

I have way way way tooooooo much stuff to do for this month, for school, Fanime, and TaeKwonDo. All of it relatively finishing up the same week. Or at least it feels like it.

Last semester, it wasn't so bad. Most school semesters, I'm just a little busy. This semester, it's really insane, to the point of almost getting snappy at random annoying things.
(That, plus I'm teaching more so the kids just aren't listening...I can't get mad at them, but still, it doesn't help my mentality)

TKD Graduation-Testing is end of June.

In addition, Pika realized she has 3 papers due next week too.

But, due to everything going on, I can't try to balance everything for school, teaching, lesson plans, TaeKwonDo, Fanime costumes, and try to find the time to focus on FD. There have been some issues lately that need to be postpone until everyone can focus on them, and now is nowhere near the time for that. I know some of you may want me to post here or there and worry about the issues later, but, I really can't try to deal with that right now. Playing in a game takes low priority compared to passing classes or staying sane.

Therefore, I'm really sorry, but until May 26, I'm probably too busy to deal with FD right now. (that's NOT to say I'm quitting, or that FD is on hold. Just that there's very low chances of productivity or posting.

Once back from the trip, with no more stress of school and lower TKD stress, I should be able to have time to focus on FD. I know there's other issues going on, other students in school, and stuff, so, we all probably need this break.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Okay, now that school and Fanime and everything is over, (okay, not TKD, but that's not as big an issue), I'm ready to try to get FD back in order and fully active.

However, since it's been so long, it may be very difficult, espeically in recruiting our members back into activity.

Therefore, I'm planning to have a meeting for the FD members on Saturday, May 31. There's no set time, although people can make requests for times, since we have people in various time zones.
Since several of the admins use MSN, we'll probably primarily meet there, but we can have meetings on yahoo and aol too. Just let me know(via email, PM, any of the IMs, etc) on what works best for you, so we can be prepared.

And a random note-the DF 4th aniversary is coming up (June 9-11, 2004). This is definately woot, along with the fact that it means that by this point, 4 years ago, we had met wedge and deragon, and are about a month away from meeting shayde, and 3 months from kyle and jesse. Yay history-of-us:-p Therefore, there's bound to be IM parties those days too. (glare to Wedge-you better be there, you helped make DF)
