People
might have noticed a distinct lack of updates to this blog lately. In
my August Round-Up, I briefly mentioned
being back at school this year and that that was going to keep me
very busy. Well, it's kept me far busier than I imagined. I'm in a
practicum assignment on Mondays and Tuesdays. Then I have full-time
classes from Wednesday to Friday. I also have to complete a couple
hours of community service each week as part of the program. Of
course, when I get home each day, I then have readings and
assignments to attend to. It's a great program, but it's leaving me
with very little time left over (and I'm also trying to earn a bit of
money to live off of from part-time work as well). This all means,
the blog updates have fallen way behind.
But
don't worry. There will be more! They just won't be frequent for a
while. When they do come, they will likely be in small bursts. For
example, there will be at least two (hopefully three) new reviews up
by the end of this weekend. I also have three weeks off in December,
so I hope to do lots of catching up during that time. There are
likely to be more reviews of programs like Doctor Who than of Pathfinder and other books (although one of this
weekend's forthcoming reviews
will be a Pathfinder review). This is for the simple fact that it
takes less time to watch a program (even watch it twice, which is
what I prefer to do when reviewing something) than it does to read an
entire book.
My
program ends in mid-May, at which time, I'll regain enough of a life
to resume more frequent writing for this blog. In the meantime, I
hope people will be patient with only occasional posting. Despite
having no other posts this month, October has still managed to have
the third-highest number of views ever to this blog, so I
know people are still coming by. Thanks so much to everyone who
reads!
