Semi-sabbatical

Meh. I just don't feel like Ploughing tonight. I haven't been terribly enthusiastic about it for a while now. I think I've decided I will more or less officially be taking somewhat of a Plough break; after three years it's not too surprising that I feel the need for one. I don't intend to quit going altogether, but I do intend to quit making myself go when I don't quite feel like it, as I think the fact that that's happening more and more these days says something I shouldn't ignore. Besides, I no longer fear nearly as much as I used to that if I skip too many weeks I'll never go back; I imagine that even if I haven't gone for a while, there will be occasional Monday nights when I feel like dropping in, and I've got no reason to feel guilty that it's been so long (which is one of the main factors that usually keeps me from returning to places I've been away from for a while) because nobody really needs me there and there won't be anything major I've missed.

So, let this be an announcement to anyone who cares: From here till sometime in the indefinite future, you'll see me at the Plough occasionally, but don't count on my being there; ping me in advance if you want to know whether I will be, or to specifically request that I attempt to show up.

I'll miss seeing you there. But it's totally understandable. No point in going if you're not excited about it... Someday I should remember to get these crosswords to you.

Ah yes. Perhaps at the next DHP?

I won't actually be there (something had to give in the August scheduling, and that was it).

Are you going to be a student this semester, by the way?

I think it says something about the stability of my life lately that although I've paid the first installment of my fees and registered for classes, I'm still nervous about giving a definite "yes" to that question.

Plough =?
