Decline in Activity

So, I'm posting this up to inform everyone I'm in threads with that my activity, as spotty as it already is, is about to get even more so. I have a heap of work that I am behind in for school as well as site and personal. For those nosy people, I'll be detailing most of it in a little bit. The point of my posting this thread is to let people know that my responses to all threads, with the exception of any preludes I am a part of, will be slow in coming for the next 2-3 weeks. I do apologize, I know there are some threads that people REALLY want to get going, but I've got to have my priorities straight, and frankly I haven't had them as they should be in some time.

I will still pop up in the xat; I should be taking a full break from the site for a week or two to get things straightened out, but I know myself better than that. I'll welcome any reminders that people want to throw at me to keep on track by the way. Now, for that list.

School
Over the next 2-3 weeks, I have 2 final exams that I need to do. Beyond that, I have 2 major essays I am already late on turning in, a final project for a class I have yet to start work on, and a piece of a final class project I have only just remembered upon typing this. This is all in addition to my normal school/work load, which includes reading several plays a week and so forth. I also have classes to pick at the end of this month for my next semester as well as figuring out my work situation over the next semester and remaining months of this semester

Personal
Without going into all the details, I have several personal issues
concerning friends and family that I have to try and sort out sometime
soon. Some of you may know what exactly I'm talking about, some won't;
don't worry about it, its something I'll take care of on my own at my
own pace. Beyond that, I have to get my head on straight here, and more
or less buckle down and get shit done.

NaNoWriMo
National Novel Writing Month has just started. As a creative writing major, I should be doing this, so I am. This is going to be draining a lot of what little free time I will have left after the above mentioned school work. For those that don't know what it is, the challenge is to, in the month of November alone, create and write an entire novel(roughly 60k Words). If you start from day 1, that's 2k Words a day; roughly a post or so for the site depending on skill. This is day 2, I have yet to start writing, so that gives you an idea of where I stand on it xP

Site Stuff
So, now to what I have to do on the site. As of this moment, this is my list of "Things to Do" on the site;
Threads

-6 Threads I am currently active in, only 2 of which I do not owe a post in at this time. One of them is the prelude which is waiting on Frost. This is, for the duration of this reduction of activity, the only thread I will be putting any priority on since I am not going to hold back a site event.

Character Application

-Natalia/Aisha is currently the only new app I am making; it remains incomplete
-Zaraki, Grimmjow, and Abaddon require updates/application revamps
-Takeshi either requires an overhaul or to be discarded to make room for a new character

Organizational Work

-Vanguard is brand new and requires monitoring.

-I will be turning over a measure of control to Dai to help with this if he will help me.


-Sin Fall should be doing more during this time, but I don't have the ability to get Abaddon and Zarot out to chaos causing with this much work
-Nuevo Espada; eh, Grimmjow has been active for the moment, and shouldn't be too missed until I can get back into the groove of things.

Staff Work
I will be continuing what staff work I can, but I make no guarantees that I will be around all the time for staff meetings and such. I will be doing the best that I can though.

So yeah, that's what I feel like disclosing at this moment, and the bulk of stuff that is making me take this activity reduction. Most of this shit is my own fault for basically not getting my shit done, so now I have to pay the price and get everything back on track. Please bear with the bear while I sort this out. Thank you.
