I'm not doing a good job of adjusting to the changes in schedule and responsibilities in my life, and I need to take more time off until I've got what's important in order.
I'm having trouble with work/life/play balance and feel like a selfish teenager seeing that now many people are affected by me changing my plans; I feel leashed now, but that's just the child in me lashing out. I am envious for the freedom I had for 7 years, but I have to accept that I no longer can fulfill commitments until I have my own house and life in order.

Most significantly, I have to commit to staying at one household, rather than bouncing back and forth. I have decided I will be staying at a location that has very poor connection quality and internet availability, namely due to wireless and Netflix.
I also need to be putting a lot more time into studying for the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, something I've put exactly zero time into since graduation.

So I am stepping away from a lot of social and entertainment commitments, so I can see where everything falls in place, and see what I can add back in to my schedule. Namely, I cannot commit to the competitive play I desire on this ladder, and I cannot participate in extra-curriculars like the SDS podcast or the Observatory. I would still be around to talk or to play a fun game once in a while, but I anticipate something approaching 1-2 months of absence from ladder matches.

I'm upset because I promised that I would have more time, more freedom, and a better connection for this community after college finished. It's simply not the case, but I know that this is the best move for me in the long run.

Cya.

Godspeed you beautiful unicorn.

Well, it was a long run! although we had our ups and downs im glad we came to a point where we both can talk to each other

I think its a very rare thing that someone will drop all desires and focus on what is best for them, you being a perfect example... I really, Really, really enjoyed you on the ladder, even though I didn't show it, I always did and if leaving is the best chance at fulfilling the opportunities that you feel obligated to, it's our job as a community to show compassion, love, and support. I think your a very smart Guy, so i know your making the right decision... Although it is a sad thing to see you go, i am very happy for you... so thanks man, And cheers to when you come back on!

Sucks that SDS is a casualty in this. I'm not sure I will continue it alone.

Im sure that there are many people willing to help with the SDS Roncli, not speaking for Birds but I think he would almost be perfect for that role

Birds would be perfect for any role. When I die and they make a movie about me, I want him to narrate it.

Lol XP

Yeah, the show must go on Roncli.

period.

Draft someone if you need to.

I'd watch the hell out of that. If you ever want someone to mumble a second set of takes while eating a sandwich, let me know
