GENERAL Report Your Absence

Like Juniper said above, HiO is cutting into my school time, but I'm also not quitting or leaving, or avoiding replies. But I'll be rather slow at them. The following reasons are why I'll still be onsite but not quite as active as I was.

1) Criminal Justice. I have a lot of notes and activities for this class. I can't afford to fail this as this is a dual credit course.
2) English. A lot more essays than what I'm used to.
3) Chemistry. Lab, lab reports, essays, and wierd chemistry math is keeping me occupied.
4) Geometry. Lets- ignore that XD besides that I hang out with my friends after we do oru assignments (which is like five minutes long)
5) Clubs. I'm in Key Club and Theater and FFA and Robotics. Key Club, a volunteer organization where we do things to better society- also means that I'm also volunteering a lot more. Theater, we have a veterans day performance by the 7th and 8th grade choir on the 4th of November and I am spotlighting their performance for their parents. I'm also spotlighting the Christmas performance that is a week long- and has constant rehersals- after the Veterans Day performance- so i'll be out after school hours. FFA, or Future Farmers of America, has me doing S.A.E or Supervised Agriculture Experience for my scholarship. And Robotics, ughhh code is so hardddd- kinda.
6) I'm a little stressed out OOC, and my family is big into Christmas and I'm celebrating the Wheel of the Year by myself since no one I know is a Wiccan.

So, I have a lot on my plate, and that isn't even all of it I will still be on HiO a lot, just not quite as much as I was prior last week.

Additional Notes: While my schedule next semester isn't nearly as busy, at least until the clubs kick back in again, I also have to take End of Course exams- and a huge exam in each of my classes after the EoC. The only class where I won't get the huge exam is Criminal Justice, but that's a Dual Credit class, meaning if I pass the Dual Credit exam with a score of 75 or higher, I get a credit towards my college class if I want to study law.

Mentioning this here too: I will be around less for about two weeks to take care of some personal things. I'm still here for duelling, to wrap up the Ravenclaw forest thread, and post in the ball when possible. Duelling takes priority, this won't affect my moderations or my duel. I will respond to owls once a day, and can likely be reached on Discord if necessary. Otherwise, see you in two weeks

I have quite a bit of IRL stuff going on. Auditions for region band are starting up tomorrow and the phases will continue all through next week. I'm trying to get as much practice as I can so I'm going to be quite inactive. Not to mention I'm also running an art account on Instagram so I'm trying to keep up with that too because unfortunately, it is my priority of HiO. I will be using this time to focus on school as well, although my projects or school work aren't getting harder or anything like that, my schedule has always been quite busy with barely any time to stuff in homework since I started HiO so yeah, I think I need a little break. I will be checking my owls daily and responding to them within at least a day. I will also be responding to threads but expect that to be much slower. Like, a week or so. I will also not be starting up new threads.

I'll be out for IRL stuff through the 15th. I'll be checking in for any modded posts if I have a turn due, but it probably won't be much more than that until next week.
