Hey everyone!

I hate to tell you all....but I am going to be on RPR a lot less for a bit. I'll still be checking in and such, but not as often, and I am putting my Post-Monster title on hold; I won't be responding to RPs as fast as I usually do.

The reason: Finals. The end of the semester is quickly approaching and I have to do all the end unit tests, final exams, and final projects. And I also REALLY need to get on the ball with my senior project. So time I would normally be spending on RPR (and dA), I'm going to be spending working on my school and my senior project.
I've been getting anxiety attacks lately when I think about everything I have to get done. It leaves me feeling a bit sick in the stomach. So I'm going to lessen the time I spend on here so I can get everything done and be able to relax.

I'm sorry that I have to do this I love you all, I love this website, but that's the reason I gotta back down on how much I'm on it. If you post to an RP of ours, I would reeeally love if you could send me a PM and tell me. I know this might be bothersome for some of you, but otherwise I may miss it in the notifications.

Love you all, and don't be afraid to have fun without me. I'll still be checking in for important news and such. My activity is just going to be lessened. ";

And on that note I dub myself temporary post monster. Ha! Heh. Nah really. You just focus on what you need to and handle business. Just don't let it get to you too bad and good luck. See ya when you get back.

School is way more important! I'm sure everyone will understand. Good luck on your finals! I'm sure you'll do great

Good for you for being so responsible. We will miss you dearly while you're focusing on getting things done, but sometimes study needs to come first. And the more you focus on your projects now, the more you'll be able to spend time with us later.

Take it one thing at a time and try not to freak out! Let us know if there's any other way we can help out.

You are very wise to do that Celestina, doing well with your finals is important. Just know that we'll miss you and look forward to your return when you're done

Best of luck!

As a teacher I applaud your dedication to your studies and your maturity at realising you need to focus..

As a lover of this place... I completely understand your reluctance. Best of luck with your studies. xo

Good luck, Celestina. If I was in your position, I'm not sure what I'd do, but I do know that you're being extremely responsible and mature with your decision making. You know I've always got the off topic stuff handled, and I'm starting to get back into RP'ing, so you never know: there might be a new Post Monster when you get back .

Again, I wish you nothing but the best wishes, and good luck on your finals.

Real life always takes priority my dear! We'll all miss the post monster, but you are making the best decision for yourself. Best of luck with the end of term stuff

Remember to take your time to relax, too. Recognizing when you're stressed and tense is important, so you can take breaks in between to prevent from letting the stress culminate into a draining anxiety attack!

Good luck with your finals!

Thanks everyone I'll try to check in three times a day: Once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once in the evening. It'll potentially go down to twice a day (morning and evening), but it depends all on how busy I am
Thanks to all of you for your support though

P.S. Dangit stop trying to steal my title, people! D<

UPDATE:

I have finished Semester A of my last year of highschool with all A's. Thanks to everyone for putting up with my slow posting! Things may still lag a little bit, because I have a lot of other things to catch up on. But I'm here now, and I'm happy!
