tarigwaemirAd Mundo Exteriore,
I regret to inform you all that I must unfortunately take an extended hiatus from LiveJournal. This break will last for at least three months, if not longer.
There are several reasons for this decision, the most relevant being the fact that I remembered that my computer doesn't have a dial-up modem, which leaves me essentially Internet-deprived for the summer. I do plan to check both my email addresses regularly, so you may still communicate with me through that medium.
I suppose I could also check my LiveJournal on public computers but I've also decided that I really need to stop using the Internet as a means of procrastination. I may be resigned with my organic chemistry grade for this semester, but by no means am I satisfied with it. I'll have to take my second half-course of chemistry next fall, and I'm going to try and review the material we learned this year in preparation. This is going to require a certain level of concentration that I think I've lost during my first year in college, so I've done my best to deprive myself of any distractions. I may even continue my hiatus into fall semester--I'm going to be taking three science courses, after all.

aetherangelette, this also means that I'm also planning to put an eventual cease to all graphics projects. Today, I zipped up all my manga scanslations, anime episodes, and image files, burned them off on CDs, and deleted them from my computer. I'm leaving the CDs at home, which I'm sure I'll regret halfway through the week, but I won't be able to do anything about it. I'll finish the current works in progress, which include two skins and a wallpaper, but after that, I'm going on hiatus from Have Faith too.
This situation is temporary. I thought about making it permanent, but I don't really have the strength of mind to do that. I really enjoy LiveJournal, and I feel that I've made friends with a lot of people here. (And if I abandoned Have Faith forever, oniichan would kill me.) But circumstances being as they are, I thought this would be a good chance to change my Internet habits. When I think that I've found a better balance (and when I have a easier courseload), I'll definitely return. Anyway, it's not as if I'll be able to access the Internet for more than, say, half an hour, so the situation has pretty much been decided for me.
Hm, I was originally going to write a short note to let you all know what was going on and to tell you that I'll miss reading your LJs for the next few months, but instead I've written another long entry. ^_^ I guess habits are hard to change.

Post-script: Come to think of it, I also regret not being able to participate in the next round of the FST project, but I just may make one on my own and have it ready for some future round. ^_^

But needs must, and we'll all still be here in a few months' time. ^_^ Take care and good luck with you.
*hugs again*
