*ahem* so I never made an official leave, I was more AWOL than anything else, but with the end of the spring semester I thought I would just work and take a little break over the summer, nope wasn't even close to coming to be. Nothing tragic, so I shan't bore you all with the details, VM me if you really really want to know. Suffice it to say that my work load effectively tripled come May and won't slow down appreciably until after my birthday. I have gotten a better handle on my class load so I hope to be here more often, at least more often than before LOL.
