User blog:Amandelen/Announcement: Absent until August 24

Hello everyone,

Due to real life, I won't be able to make big edits for about a week (until August 24).

I'm following a special class for which I have to write a big (and important) essay in the coming eight weeks. If I get a very good mark on the essay, I'll have a higher chance to be able to go the university I want to go, so this is really important to me. I have a break from school right now, but in two weeks that break will be over and I'll have to go back to school. This year will be my last year in high school (I guess? I don't live in the USA, and the school system in my country is really weird compared to other countries, but it basically means that I will have exams every eight weeks and that I'll have to study a lot), and therefore I won't have a lot of time on my hands to work on the essay AND work on the wiki as well. Since I would rather work a full week on the essay and then be free to work on the wiki than work on the wiki simultaneously with the essay and then be unable to work on the wiki after two weeks, I thought it would be better to take a week off now than to be unable to work on the wiki for six weeks :/.

This basically means that I won't be able to work on the requests this week (or anything else for that matter). I'm sorry that this announcement came so suddenly, but I wasn't aware of the time limit and it kind of came out of the blue for me as well orz (I was informed of the time limit just now, actually). I will be on the wiki every day for about 15 minutes to make sure that I can revert any vandalism that may occur, but 15 minutes is too short to make a page and therefore I won't be able to do anything else. Again, I'm really sorry for the sudden announcement, as this basically means that the request service has to be shut down for the rest of the week. I know this is a huge inconvenience, but I hope you can all understand that this does require my attention. I'll make sure to also comment this in the request thread, to make sure that the people requesting know it as well.
