I’m really sorry to do this. I really didn’t want to. But, I’m looking at another depression episode. Parts of my wife’s family really disapprove of our relationship, which lead to some fights with them after her grandmother’s funeral. Then the election… ugh. I’ve been reminded again that people irrationally

Class on Hold for Funeral
I’ve got a funeral to go to at the end of the month for a grandma-in-law, I’m stressing out over it a bit, and can’t really get anything done for a few weeks. I’ve amended the calendar to reflect the changes to our schedule.
Well, What a Fun Month!

Short Hiatus
I’m selling garb at a renfaire, and have to sew it first. After that, I’m going to a wedding. So, for the next 2 weeks, don’t turn in homework, because I won’t have enough time to get to it! I’ll also be hard to find around the forums, or anywhere
Fragile Mortality
Some of you may know this already, but last Saint Nicolas’ Day, my grandfather died. We were quite close. He was a brilliant anthropologist and quite gifted at learning languages. If you want to know more about him, do a search on Frank Bessac. I miss him terribly, to the
Hiatus
Sigh. I’m sorry to do this, but I’m too busy to correct homework anymore. The reason? I’m getting married! After the marriage rush, I might start correcting homework again, but as for right now, I’m closing the homework turn in. That doesn’t mean that the website is closing down, by
