I have to hurry with this. I have class in 15 minutes. Which is part of the problem right there.
I’m leaving the SDMB.
Certainly not for good but I don’t know for how long. I’ll check in from time to time but I just can’t do this anymore. I’m not writing this for all the weepy teared cyber hugs or to see how popular I really am. I just felt that, being part of this community for over a year now, I owe some form of an explanation.
I have, at times, spent well over half my day here. Maybe more. And every time I get off, I kick myself saying “look how much of the day you’ve wasted.”
Well, it hasn’t been wasted, really. So many interesting people to meet on here and I’ve gotten to know quite a number of you, albiet on a less than in person way.
But I just moved into my new place, sans DSL, sans extra phone line, and it’s difficult to log on and stay on for as much as I’d like.
Add to that the fact that I’m joining all these school clubs, bridge club, chess club, I want to write for the paper…yada yada yada. Something had to give. I thought about giving up studying, but…
I have to choose this, which seems strange because, at times, I feel I get more educated logging on here than I do at school. You scour the internet in search of current events from all over. I have, right here, actual lawyers debating legal issues. What more could I want?
I don’t know. But I have to find other things too.
Let me know about Dopefests in KC, and I’ll still be checking e-mail.
Have a good day.
Dan
